Hi, Avis,
Your photographs are beautiful! l love the lisianthus and want one. I use impatiens in my shade garden and some varieties are very rose-like. Thanks for your message on Blotanical. Pamela

Hello Avis, thanks for visiting my garden The lisianthus are beautiful. I have not heard of them before but will look out for them, they certainly are rose like.

They are beautiful! I love the richness of the blue, but it’s hard for me to resist lime. That poor yellow — it’s beautiful, too, but it’s not getting the same attention from everyone. I’m trying to decide whether I’d choose fragrance or thorns if I had a rose-like plant. It’s a hard call — but I don’t have either a lisianthus or a rose right now, so I guess I won’t worry about it! I do have a baby begonia, though!

James,
I ordered several small plants of the lisianthus at the beginning of the season. Our weather was really cool here in the spring, plus I had some delays getting my plants outdoors, so I didn’t see blooms until last month. Thanks for stopping by.
