Yes, Mr. Lincoln, and you might look at Kirsten Poulsen. I believe it has the same upright habit that my Else Poulsen has. Don't know how tall you want the rose to be. In my small garden, I'm always encouraging upright growth, but Else needs no help, and there's never any sprawling. I'm sure there are many upright growers, but these are the two I am familiar with.

Francis, your plant looks great, though some more light might make it more compact. It is not hanging (yet) because your glossy stemmed plant is a Hatiora salicornioides, the dancing bones cactus, not a hairy Rhipsalis. It will start to hang down eventually, but that will take a while.

Just found your post--I carried over some ivy geraniums from last year and I am letting them fall by their own wt. I had trimmed them way back in the fall after bringing them indoors for the winter. They have filled out real nice. I have them in a sun room that gets lots of light so I just keep them potted. They get white flies in the house so I spray with a soap/alcohol solution about once a week along with a good spray of water. Kathryn

I want to plate up 12 portions. It will be a three small components dish, a passion fruit bavaroise, slices of caramelized mango and a cream of lime. I might need around 30 flowers. Buying the plants would be the last resort, since the colors might not be the ones I'm looking for. I'd like purple and orange/yellow petals. That's why I chose Johnny jump ups. The information on the internet is not very clear. On some sites I read that if you sow them july/august, you'll get blooms the next spring. My idea would be to sow them around that time, protecting them from harsh weather and crossing my fingers, in order to get the blooms for Christmas. But... could I?
