What is the one that has little poky things on the edges of the leaves? It looks very tropical, but I noticed you are in zone 5a, so I am going to try those here in zone 5B! Quote \| Reply \| Report

I does look like it has pokies on the leaves in the pic but they are actually smooth. They have the orange tiger lily like flower? If so, I can get you some seeds this summer. They are perennials and reseed very well. Quote \| Reply \| Report

Have you seen the purples one with a splash of orange. They are really pretty to. I have been looking for some but can't find them around here. I guess I'll have to order some from one of the catalogs. I have a few packs of the seeds left over if anyone is interested in them you can PM me and I will send them to you.

What is the plant in your 8th pic? That's an egg gourd. When the fruit matures you can dry it just like any other gourd and decorate them to look like Easter eggs. Kids love 'em.
