Hey! It's not 4 o'clock yet!

* My Four O'clocks woke up early this morning. Maybe it was the beautiful sunny start to the day.
I'd like to say I have a green thumb when it comes to Mirabilis, but not really. Truth is...I CAN'T GET RID OF 'EM. But I'm actually happy about it now, since they give off fall color.

*Some other flowers notable for fall color are Marigolds, Asters, Zinnias and Dusty Miller. If you plant Dusty Miller in late spring, don't give up the ship if they look beleaguered during the summer - they usually come back to a roaring presence in late summer/early fall.
