As advertised, this primrose tolerates dry conditions better than most, blooming under grow-lights in a cool basement in mid-February about 11 months after it was sown. It had wilted several times due to my forgetting to water it, but that didn't seem to bother it much.

The flowers on this petunia don't open quite as wide as petunia blooms generally do. They also seem to be a bit more sticky than most, and tend to capture bugs and bits of dirt on their surface. But the color is so unusual that I love them anyway!

This flowering tobacco has larger flowers than most, about 2 1/2 to 3 inches across. It reportedly also can grow to about 5 feet, though mine -- in partial shade -- reached only 3 feet during a dry summer.
