Except the unrelenting hot weather the last few months has given it a brownish tint. I hope it will be OK once the weather cools. It is still blooming.debsgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656883577922890561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012891747188380656.post-70319717021008937432016-09-22T18:39:27.278-07:002016-09-22T18:39:27.278-07:00Love the lion's ear - I am growing it for the...Love the lion's ear - I am growing it for the first time this year as well!Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291223943168030684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012891747188380656.post-50516699373165074662016-09-22T05:26:44.145-07:002016-09-22T05:26:44.145-07:00Oh, I love that "hot mess" in the first ...Oh, I love that "hot mess" in the first picture: the color combination is so rich, I wouldn't change a thing. It won't be long before the first gardening year in the PNW is up; It must have been quite an exciting learning curve. It would be interesting to read about some of what you've learn that is different from your experience in Alabama. I love everything about the Lion's Ear. Very cool.chavlinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907844942343152129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012891747188380656.post-18302398674747123532016-09-18T21:36:24.696-07:002016-09-18T21:36:24.696-07:00The "hot mess" along the foundation is q...The "hot mess" along the foundation is quite fantastic!

Many of my containers are looking pretty pathetic, but my begonias are doing great,too. I overwintered one last year, and it looked pretty sad all spring, but even it is looking gorgeous right now. I hope I can find room to over-winter most of mine, too.

Everything looks so beautiful. Alabama is a scorched mess this year. If it isn't brown, it's drooped and wilted.

I read somewhere that it's one of the most amazing broad spectrum feeder plants for insects. Seeing your happy vignette makes me think I need to get some too. Also, the first photo of the Leonotis is stunning - wow!Anna Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02353084595743927603noreply@blogger.com
