BTW Diane... that wasn't a "survived the winter" Chocolate Cosmos... it was a weed... maybe your blue flowers would match??? :wink: Oh mannnn how disappointing for you ,, a weed ,, they just don't have them here at all,, most places I've called haven't even heard of the choc cosmo's  , btw Bill the phygeulius is doing well and there is only one foxglove start left ,, I suppose it was just too hot here for a transfer,, the one left is doing just okay,, but hanging in there!

WOW Diane!!! I'm sorry your heat index is so very high, but your flowers all are so beautiful! Such eye popping colors and so bright! Leave it to you to start a creative thread like this! I'm not sure what our heat index is for today - it's so nice and breezy cool right now - a nice change from the high heat we've been having too. I'll try to find out what it is, and see if I have any flowers to match.

!!! OK so I bought this plant--and it is doing ok---BUT they told me it was a "Hummingbird plant". ??? I will go take a picture of it and post it today someplace. So somepne can tell me what they think. but it is supposed to be 99 today so I assume the heat index is going to match this here as well as your house.

maybe I should take a picture of a dried up dead flower. That's my heat index.
