If you look closely, you can see my wire frog.

Love this plant, it didnt have a tag, but i think its a new kind of lobelia

I see your frog. It is so nice to see you blooms, Penny. i know it is hard work to keep them.

Good looking plants!

Penny · « **Reply #29 on:** Jul 30, 2010, 12:20:45 PM »

So does anyone have any idea what that last flower is(one in my hand).....it didnt have a tag with it, so i was thinking either lobelia or verbena?

Triss · « **Reply #30 on:** Jul 30, 2010, 12:21:54 PM »

I dunno Penny but it sure is pretty.

Penny · « **Reply #31 on:** Jul 30, 2010, 12:25:57 PM »

I am going to bring it in when it gets cold......i am leaning towards verbena.

Tina · « **Reply #32 on:** Jul 30, 2010, 12:33:01 PM »

Yes, my first thought was verbena. It is very pretty.

Penny · « **Reply #33 on:** Jul 30, 2010, 12:36:34 PM »

And lobelia, doesnt have the tubers behind the flower either, so it looks like verbena.

Are those blue flowers as blue as they look in the photo, Penny? Or is your camera playing tricks? Awesome flowers and I love your butterfly too.

Triss · « **Reply #36 on:** Jul 30, 2010, 01:57:33 PM »

What is the blue flower.. I love that one.

Tina · « **Reply #37 on:** Jul 30, 2010, 01:58:02 PM »

Penny · « **Reply #38 on:** Jul 30, 2010, 02:01:57 PM »

Saving seeds from it? If so can I call dibs on some?

Absolutely, if i get some seeds from it, you can have some.

I just need to read up on seeds for it, I've never grown one

, so i dont know when it goes to seed, and what to watch for.

Triss · « **Reply #43 on:** Jul 30, 2010, 02:11:11 PM »

I have grown them from seed but do not recall the saving of them. I think I had to leave them behind in Nebraska.

Penny · « **Reply #44 on:** Jul 30, 2010, 02:12:56 PM »

Thank god for Google!

Triss · « **Reply #45 on:** Jul 30, 2010, 02:23:34 PM »

Yes indeed.

Tina · « **Reply #46 on:** Jul 30, 2010, 02:38:38 PM »

I would very much like some. If they seed like regular hibiscus, then the seed saving is easy. Much like any rose of sharon. A tropical, not quite so easy. Watch for pods and the end of flowering and catch before they pop and spread.

Penny, your yard is gorgeous. It's nice to see such fresh flowers since ours is dried up.
