1. Do you have any white flowers for evening light? |
|
I have pot of white impatiens that seem to glow around dusk. Just beautiful. Makes me want to plant more white flowers.

3. If you look at impatiens closely |
|
They almost look like they have little shiny flecks in the petals. That must be why they look so nice in the evening. I might try morning glories next year, I've never planted them. :hi:

4. you just have to make sure they don't take over- but I've never really had a |
|
problem. The ones I have simply reseed themselves year after year.
I'm not a big fan of impatiens (my mom loves em, though), but I'll have to take a long look at em when I see the white ones next time!

Right outside the bedroom window. The hummingbirds seem to like them too.
