I found that in a bargain basket at the grocery store, knocked down to dollars. IT had one green leaf with a lot of yellow, and brown and yellow ones dangling. So I brought the poor thing home. PUt it in the sun, and hoped for the best. It wasn't until I saw a post from GRow Gardens not Lawns that I knew what it was, and how to care for it. It is called a Desert Rose. My jaw dropped when I saw the pic they posted. IT is loaded with blooms, so I hope in a day or two to get a photo of this plant in it's glory. How I am going to keep it over winter, I have no idea. I do not want to lose it. High light, as in direct sun makes it happiest, let only the top third go dry between waterings. IT started to bloom a couple weeks ago, but I think I let it go a tad too dry and it dropped the blooms, either that or something thought they were yummy because I came out the next day to see..and they were gone. Completely. Fingers crossed for thsi go around.
Morning glories will always have a specail place in my heart. IT isnt' Septemeber to me, without their early morning greeting .Next year I talked with Hyia and she wants to do this. YOu plant sunflowers in a circle, plant a morning glory at the base, pull them together at the top and it makes a living teepee.
