What's actually blooming is a small pink thing. Not at all what I had in mind. I wanted the pot with the buddleja lindleyana to be monochromatic:

What happened? I bought the Ferry-Morse seed packets at HD. How do you ever know what's going to come out of the packet if you can't trust the label. OTOH, whoever labeled these colors needs to take a color theory class and get some new glasses right NOW. I do really like the frothy look of the container that comes with the zinnia foilage, though. Thanks for any advice I can get on this.
Can't complain too loud about how the ball bounces when I'm the one who dropped it.
