Ooooh I love all three.

Some may think me is a little weird but I REALLY like the last one....I just love unusual looking flowers and plants! I'm a cactophile so what can I say!!! [Roll Eyes]

Would the last one thrive in zone 9? Sun or shade?? Have any seeds?? [grin] [grin]

Karen,
That's the passion flower,
I believe it's for your zone,
in mine it's only an annual,
or brought in side!!!!

I've always wanted to grow passionflowers, but thought they wouldn't make it here in Zone 6. I've never seen them for sale here - might have to order some! [thumb]
