Anna, were you asking about the height on the orange flower plant? That one is about 5 1/2 foot tall...and can get even taller. I seem to remember there are shorter varieties of those and taller ones, but can't think of a name. All your plants are SO pretty, you two! I just love fall, especially after a hard summer like we had. Forecast here has lows as low as 44 for mid-week, so naturally the highs are going to be very nice again!
Texas Milkweed, the only one of those kind that survived the beetle attacks here well enough to be blooming now!

And here's my clematis that started blooming again after the heat lifted, the native Clematis pitcheri.

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
Integrity can never be taken. It can only be given, and I wasn't going to give it up to these people. Gary Mowad
