I've always dismissed them as being too temperamental for me but some of them seem to be pretty tough.

I was watching a show on them years ago, and they were talking about just how specialized some of them are...that the form of their blooms had evolved to be pollinated by exactly 1 kind of insect...it was physically designed just for them...amazing!scottweberpdxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740930947767329183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-62692199230339823962012-11-28T07:04:50.768-08:002012-11-28T07:04:50.768-08:00We don't really have rules here either; it com...We don't really have rules here either; it comes down to what colors we have around at the time.outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-1587391113037142572012-11-28T06:54:10.375-08:002012-11-28T06:54:10.375-08:00Gorgeous!
