    I love seeing photos of Ruby Bells in bloom in someone's garden. It helps to know what my babies might look like when they grow up.

    The wintersown seedlings have done extremely well in their first summer. Though they haven't bloomed, they have formed nice healthy looking little plants.

    Update 2013: I posted an updated photo of my wintersown plants as adults. The foliage is plain green all year, but it blooms heavily over a long period.
