I took some pics of my Turks caps. The first picture is my oldest one. It shows the sunny side. After that will be the shadier side. The only real difference is how many trees are behind the fence.

Here's my 3 year old. Barely gets any sun. You can see how the sun stops inches before the plant.

And yet it's blooming.

The 2 yr old probably gets sun for an hour or two and not consecutively. So it's little but has a few little blooms!

Here you can see 1 bloom on it. I had to get up really close to see it.

Even the baby has a bud on it.

What a great plant!
