In summer the leaves have a pink 'heart'! About the wildlife, I didn't expect so many!<BR/><BR/>Susie, I was very excited to see these little guys after a long gap. I'd love to see yours too. It's great to suddenly notice them when you least expect!<BR/><BR/>Shailaja, Lol! I had to! Still trying hard to get the bee. Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Karen, ah the paint....! Not now, the tail is safe, for the time being:)<BR/><BR/>Carla, I'll do that this year--pinching back the leaves, I mean. In summer the leaves will look brighter. They actually have pink in the middle.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000965361716090014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142842012400714232.post-53665505115541324342009-03-09T16:36:00.000+05:302009-03-09T16:36:00.000+05:30I plant these every year, but pinch off the blooms...I plant these every year, but pinch off the blooms to get more leaf action, these year I may have to let some go!
