plants that is a favorite for gardeners of all ages. The flower, both in bud and at
maturity, is a splendid curiosity, and can be appreciated both indoors and out. The wide
color range of the genus has also contributed to its popularity. A rich, well

develop. These vigorous plants will bloom the second year. |
