I didn't know that Judy. I think I've only seen a couple of goldfinches in my garden and that was a couple of years ago. I'm so happy to hear they grow and bloom fast because I was worried the heat would slow them down here? That's just amazing the ones that got broken have recovered so quickly. I have a Hot Lips salvia that's a little too big for one of my flower beds so I'll be giving it a major haircut once it finishes blooming.
