This year however, it is a virtual no-show. They add a punch of color right about now and I am missing that bright, sunny orange. Love the Dwarf Morning Glory.

The Snapdragons are very forgiving of temperature, here they are in Wiscons thriving in intense heat whilst they are also looking good in our garden where many of the Summer days this year the temperature has only reached 52f.Alistairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17104382970502166560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4079712767252003197.post-85549228326871589812012-07-23T01:38:26.844-05:002012-07-23T01:38:26.844-05:00I nominated you for the One Lovely Blog Award,
