Linda, @quietyard, if you still have your Adenium, take it out in part shade and then gradually move it to full sun. Make sure it drains very well, and water it a lot when it's in full sun. It should love it and bloom well. I was shocked to see my first Adenium out in our killer full sun, but the plant looked wonderful! It may need water every day, but it will leaf out and bloom abundantly.

Karen I just went out on the patio to see where my Adenium was hiding. Glare It is 23 inches tall with a few dark green leaves on the top. I have moved it to the edge of the patio where it will get some sun on and off thru the day on a top shelf of a plant stand. Keep after me on this thing, because it and I are in a battle.

Here's a cute pink Ipomoea nil I grew 4 years ago. It reminds me of color pattern seen in Blue Silk.

Sure does --sweet!

I'm starting several dozen JMG seeds from a friend Lovey dubby ... I started soaking them 2 days ago, thinking I'd need to chip their seed coats when they'd softened a bit, but they all plumped up nicely -- and some have already put out root "tails!" I'll pot them up today if I can or at least switch them to "most towel in baggie" so they don't drown.

MOrning glory blooms in april... in CT... I'd be proud, too!!

I confess, my first set of sprouted seeds suffered a mishap that likely involved one or both felines. I didn't find them in time, and they'd gotten too dry.

Having enough sense not to put all my eggs in one basket, nor all my beautiful JMG seeds in one sprouting jar, I've tried again. This afternoon I planted my "tailed" seeds right outside on the deck. (If we get a late frost I can cover them or bring them inside.) I have 3 nifty 14" pots with plastic obelisk-type trellises that attach to the pot, and I put 2 self-watering window box planters between them, all along one side of the deck so they can climb the railing.

Long story short, I sure hope to have photos to share here this summer!

@quietyard Linda, amazingly, this was the only volunteer that came up away from the general area they were planted in last year. They are prolific!
