Eye candy- Lampranthus.

A flat I picked up at Home Depot. Interestingly enough- it was a grower here in the bay area that grew them.

Such cool plants...I wish they didn't all boil in the summer here. That doesn't stop me from continuing to try though!

Beautiful! Marvelous! Awesome! All applicable. I picked up two six packs of brilliant years ago at a HD in Phoenix, as I remember; I brought them home and, this was late December, and took them in and out each day. One night in mid Jnary, I forget to bring them in and they froze. I wish I knew a mail order source of plants. I loved them. People here would kill for them because the color is Clemson Orange. Does anyone know of a source that would allow me to purchase for a decent price and I pay the shipping? IF someone reading this post has access to them. I would gladly pay postage and al cost incurred if thy could get them and send them. I would pay cost prior to them being sent/ I would plant them in a large pot and allow them to trail over, then bring into garage on a platform with rollers into my garage on cold nights when below freezing temps were predicted.
