Those pieces are going to look so pretty in the garden. Nice work! If you can assemble the glass pieces in low humidity you can usually avoid condensation. At least that is what I think happened with a bunch of mine from last year. I wish I had assembled all mine indoors over the winter months as I am sure none would have condensation now. A few have no condensation and they were assembled indoors. I've also found that the ones in the shade had much less condensation than ones in direct sun. It's hard to tell by the photos, but do those containers have drainage for the plants? If not, you may want to pot them up in a plastic pot and set the pot inside the container so you can pour out any excess water, otherwise they will likely get root rot. Or you could drill holes in the bottoms. You may already have done this, but I just wanted to mention it in case you didn't. My heart goes out to everyone that lost loved ones this year.

Lilo, I most certainly will send Sunflowers, cheer and prayers for all three of you. (Eerie, I just picked up a pack of Sunflower seeds today--Giant Russians..) You and Joann make a good team---Ron is blessed to have you two!

I can definitely stand to see more pics! Post as many as you can...I love seeing them! They are such GORGEOUS kids! I do see a little bit of difference I guess, not sure what it is though. They sure are adorable though :o)

Thanks, Debra. I was very pleased to see it bloom so nicely as a brand new one. We had the unrelenting rain earlier, and I didn't think i would ever get any weeding done. I still have a few spots to do, but I'm working on the baby's room right now. thanks Sarah, I have such a nice selection because I have no discipline in buying them...actually, Mantis, I think Intelligent Design is more Purple because it has been a lot cooler than usual with the frequent rains...It will lighten up, never fear...the heat is coming...it always does. Thanks, Jean and Ruth. I had a lot more new ones blooming today and will post later in the week again. kay
