I've never seen one flower, now I cant wait to see if mine ever does, Thanks rhizo, you've got a beauty there ernestico.....

Yes Hubby said it is a small driveshaft.... UPDATE......Hubbvy tried like heck to get it to run so after several days Local small engine repair got it running good for only $30 If known that he would not have wasted so much precious time..... They said was the linkage and recleaned carberator... so that like 4 time its been cleaned.... and adjusted the rpms.... I asked Hubby why he did not ask them to sharpen blade while they had it for only a day.... Duh ...cause his grinder is not here at this house.... ah well nobody is perfect esp Me.... LOL Now hope old place neighbor can find the self propelled parts.... cause in this little town. there is a guy who rebuild or finds starters... works out of his garage... nice guy. will try to post about forth coming parts... I have not tried to start yet... I am not as strong as used to be... Its heck getting old... thats why I need an electic start on this old Orange mower... the hybrid Thanks jean

Ruellia ( Mexican Petunia )...Does it have purple or pink flowers that are very thin and delicate and tubular in shape? Can you see small nodules near the nodes or sections of the stem? If so then you def have a Ruellia. which by the way you can share or propagate by cutting at the stem nodes and sticking in dirt. :) Cheers

Try your local nurseries first. They generally have a good selection of the common varieties and larger plants than one gets ordering by mail. Fall sales are starting in our area. Best selection seems to be in the spring. I bought many of mine from Donahue's though as it is located in our area I didn't buy them by mail. They also supply many nurseries and big box stores with clematis. They sent me a replacement plant (for a mislabeled one I bought the spring before) through the mail which arrived in excellent condition. Donahue's Mail Order description Another mail order that I have used is Brushwood Nursery. Brushwood Nursery Here is my single variety which forms a "wall of flowers" 'Betty Corning'. It also blooms earlier and longer than 'Etoile Violet' and while I have not noticed any fragrance some say theirs is fragrant.
