A flower like Tiffany Glass.!
Category: Organic Tips for your Garden | Posted: Sat Jul 14, 2007 6:29 am If you have never grown this plant I urge you to do so, it is called " Salpiglosis". They are tall thin plants and really need to be sown in a group to support one another, but they have the most beautiful flowers, just like looking at colored glass. They have all shades, blues, purples, pinks etc all on the one flower. They are annuals ,but well worth having just to look at them . I have started buying shrubs for my new garden, and some roses. I like climbing roses, and shrub roses, but I am not always successful in growing them. I think I must water too much or too little, but I know they do best with a soaker hose, rather than a blast from the hose. I also brought with me young water lilies, and they are doing great, lots of leaves but no flowers yet, I will have to bring them in for the winter. I always throw seed from my established plants into my garden in the fall, but it must be my old age, I found that now, I can never remember what ones I used!! I have to wait until the spring when they begin to sprout, and then I replant them, not knowing what I am replanting! Oh well, it's always a suprise. Some fun thoughts::: Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window? Do you ever wonder?? Why does round pizza come in a square box? What disease did 'cured' ham actually have? If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing? If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from? Once you are in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the same clothes you were buried in, for eternity? Till next time Mrs "G" This blog entry has been viewed 382 times

OK you have whetted my curiosiy now so I'm off to try and find out if I can grow Salpiglosis here in Scotland. It sounds an amazing plant!!!
I've seen salpiglosis in pictures but wonder if it will grow in this hot humid south. I think I may give it a try. It certainly IS beautiful.
That is a gorgeous plant and the colors are so vibrant.I must hunt this one for sure.
