Enduring Wonder

I have loved this plant since I was a child. When my mother sold the house I took plants that the new owner had uprooted and left to die, brought them up here and planted them. Amazingly, they have gone from living where it reaches 114ºF in the summer, to a place where we are lucky if it reaches 75.  And still they thrive, blooming almost continually year round!

  2. I know, he dug them all up and just left them to die. Philistine. You can have some if you want them for your new place.
