Second favorite is early evening. I love the light and cool breezes at those times of day.<br /><br />Beautiful photos. The nursery where I work has Crown of Thorns this year and I'm very tempted to pick one up, especially now since they are on sale for 1/2 price. Is that what the flower is on the 4th photo from the top?garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055656544285175590.post-50102844074573021942009-08-23T23:59:09.855+08:002009-08-23T23:59:09.855+08:00Wow... your photos are really beautiful!!

I would definitely grow a coleus standard once I have the chance :-) This coleus that I have thrives in direct sunlight but its stems tend to lay on the ground and grow sideways instead. Hence I find it hard to train it into a standard for this one. <br /><br />VueJardin, tq for that link!

I didn't know they were edible. You've taught me something else. Is the last photo the desert rose? I love the color. Gorgeous. I just had a yellow lisianthus like the blue-purple one I posted yesterday open. I'll post a photo soon.
