My... where? Oh I see! yp. You should see all the babies popping up where i buried the stems. May not be any room for the flowers later on. I was thinking of adding lobelia, but as the wandering jew/purple heart fills out there definitely wont be room. I have a big pot outside my door too. W.J and 2 cosmos in it. They have buds I'll get a pic when it blooms. I display stuff in there.
Cooool Wrennie!!! When you said you'd put them in the window boxes I thought it would be perfect for them!! I love the flower choices you put in there!! I saw a Wj in an old wrought iron cooking pot in a yard the other day and it looked gorgeous in it!! even tho I toss a lot of it out I just may put some in an old pot I have thats empty !! I can't wait to see everything when it fills in!!!

And see in the planters on the side of the building, when i planted it there i buried a good bit of stem with multiple 'joints' (where the leaves had been attatched)I figured for a good root system. Well, there are little plants popping up where the 'joints' are under the soil! Whats the correct term for those joints?
A close up of whatever this guy is called in the window boxes.
YEp Jiffy's right especially on this plant!! This is why I constantly have to pull it up ~it spreads like crazy everywhere you break off and put soil on top of the break you'll get new leaves I have to dig down deep and wide to lift an entire area of root or I'll just have more if I break off at dirt level. I saw a flat of Wj at the nursery for 20$ I can't believe they sell it here cuz it's just everywhere in everyones yard LOL. I hope this winters over for you Wrennie!!! The second flower I'm not sure what it is,, It looks like the leaves are fuzzy? At first I thought it was a dew plant but dew plant leaves are thick like a succulent.

NODES! I knew I knew it, just couldn't bring it up from my brain archives! Thanks. Phew. The close up ones leaves are flat and yes a bit fuzzy. I thought they may be a celosia relative cause of the flowers 'texture'.
Ya know I had that in the back of my mind but remembered the globe am.s having a lighter color leaf or something. I guess just a different cultivar. Thanks Lynne!
