How nice that must be to be able to grow them in your garden. I guess the Seattle climate is more suited to them than Arizona where I am.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I love the colors of your house!<BR/><BR/>I found you on the Sunday Garden Stroll.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11123046.post-90503428635867322702007-05-28T13:08:00.000-07:002007-05-28T13:08:00.000-07:00Cloudscome: Thanks!

For us, the blooming season depends upon how long they last before they get fried by the South light. I'm planning on keeping them well-watered and maybe they'll flourish for a month or longer.<BR/><BR/><B>CKLine</B>: Thanks for the information. I'll check out the forum.<BR/><BR/><B>GraceAnne</B>: I love Girasole. Then again, I love Italian (why oh why didn't I take Italian instead of French? Probably because it wasn't offered and I was bad at languages to begin with). A language that can turn a bat into a "pipistrelle" has my vote.<BR/><BR/><B>Jules</B>: Thanks! I ended up spending much too much time last night working on the questions. I like the purple on the house, too. Our house is in increasing need of repainting, but I'd like to keep the whimsical quality of the colors going.Saints and Spinnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733517166056974501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11123046.post-164279732420994572007-05-27T17:54:00.000-07:002007-05-27T17:54:00.000-07:00Oh Alkelda, the calla lilies are so beautiful!

How long is the blooming season? <BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for this visual treat. I second the vote for more garden pictures.Vivian Mahoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11285339307161020541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11123046.post-41713145482807471462007-05-27T16:57:00.000-07:002007-05-27T16:57:00.000-07:00Congratulations on your goal to grow sunflowers!

A few friends and I are working a great site devoted to sunflowers. It will have everything imaginable about sunflowers with all kinds of great information, links to the best products and a discussion area. The forum is already open!

I really love lilies and roses, but I possibly love sunflowers most of all. <BR/><BR/>We have a tiny front yard and a tiny back yard and some things, like lilies of the valley and the old climbing roses that bloom for my birthday each June, do well. But sunflowers? Alas no. Not enough sun, ever. <BR/><BR/>Do post flower pictures at any opportunity. Oh please.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11123046.post-42419480802071838702007-05-27T13:12:00.000-07:002007-05-27T13:12:00.000-07:00By the way, you should totally riff off the Pivot ...By the way, you should totally riff off the Pivot Questionnaire.
