Hi & welcome to GardenWeb! Hope you've had a chance to investigate the list of GardenWeb forums more closely. They are the most active gardening forums of which I'm aware. Name-that-plant is almost always the forum to go to for ID'ing, with a few exceptions, most notably roses. Unfortunately, it's just the time of year when gardening discussions in general are heading into their usual, seasonal slow-down. But by all means, feel free to start/add to any discussions you like! Unfortunately, the cute little flower from your picture is generally considered a weed because it has too many strikes against it. It is not native, unruly looking overall appearance, seeds prolifically, and the flowers are hard to catch since they open/close so quickly. Hence the common name "flower of an hour." I wouldn't pull one up if it appeared at my house, but wouldn't let it drop a bunch of seeds after I'd managed to catch one of the flowers open. I wonder if these plants react to light levels, like morning glories and Mirabilis jalapa (4'o'clocks?) Maybe they're open all day (or earlier/later) if it's overcast?

I'm sure I'll be full of questions when I actually start the work on my new rock garden. I'm still thinking and planning and reading everything I can get my hands on. I still haven't found my book by Linc Foster:-(

move : edit : share : delete lacunoas3.jpg URL Link HTML Tag IMG Code Gene , you will see something like this on PhotoBucket with each of your pictures and you can copy this "code" directly to GW posting any of the three and they will link to your photobucket pictures. The "HTML tag" is the best one to use. Another way is to click in that little box and then look at the bottom of the page for a button labeled "Generate HTML and IMG code", clicking this button will generate several codes that can be copied directly into your GW post and create links to your pictures. Please try it -Leon

Well, just in case my niece is looking in.... Vanessa Baillie, greetings from all your aunts, uncles and cousins in Ontario....Toronto mostly, send you all good tidings and await your return to frosty Canada. We're sure you are enjoying yourself in all that sunshine of Brisbane...we're all freezing still....but I'm sure you already know that from that software you and Andrew converse with. We'll be putting out our annuals in the next couple of weeks. Tulips and daffs are all up and blooming great. Your mom and dad are really excited aren't they about their cruise to the Mediterranean.....your dad's even got a tux for those formal occasions. We are all envious....but happy for them. If you see this by chance....stay well and happy. Diane & everybody.
