I love my chenille plant, you should definitely get one.<br /><br />@Noel Cupheas are definitely givers! I totally agree.<br /><br />@Dreamybee I've noticed my shrimp plant actually becoming a deeper red since I posted the original pictures. I have heard others mentioning that theirs change colors in the winter too.Houston Garden Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09294237426728774405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6825984765454088656.post-72249815794606848742010-12-19T20:39:07.601-06:002010-12-19T20:39:07.601-06:00Sharing the colors vicariously sure does help get ...Sharing the colors vicariously sure does help get us Northern gardeners through the long, colorless non-gardening days. You have so many beauties to show for December. I've never seen a pink trumpet vine before. How beautiful! I also love those pretty purple blooms on the <br />Iochroma cyaneum and the cupheas. <br />Thanks for visiting and saying hello :)Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6825984765454088656.post-79868625234587995182010-12-19T18:29:55.855-06:002010-12-19T18:29:55.855-06:00It's looking good in your part of Southwest Ho...It's looking good in your part of Southwest Houston!Cindy, MCOKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094260737874973235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6825984765454088656.post-88596523143645745822010-12-18T13:05:37.660-06:002010-12-18T13:05:37.660-06:00I've never seen a shrimp plant that color-I th...I've never seen a shrimp plant that color-I think the only ones we have around here are the orange ones. I used to have some Diamond Frost, but they didn't survive the constant trampling by my basset hound, who always had his nose to the ground and was somewhat oblivious to whatever he was walking on/through at the time, but that was kind of part of his charm. LOL!

We share lots of common plants in our gardens: diamond frost, cuphea, chenille, pentas, and etc. I have a blue and black salvia is about blooming, and I love your red salvia. Nice!

Yes, this northern gardener envies your blooms, but you're so right. I need a few months' rest from gardening, and I don't envy you your summer heat. It's nice to come here on this cold day and be warmed by your colorful garden!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.com
