That is one big flower! It's one of the first of many to bloom on our New Guinea Impatiens. They've also been called Sunshine Impatiens which is really a misconception. They will grow in full sun but tend to burn and take a great amount of water. The best place for these impatiens is partial sun or bright light but not direct hot sun and moderately moist, light soil. Following these instuctions should yield beautiful flowers.

Here is the new greenhouse that we put up in the fall and covered beginning of March.(well, acually I didn't help at all, technically...)

On Tuesday, Darren, Ryan and Danielle began moving pansies into the "North Range", as it has been dubbed. See the snow still laying on the ground? Surprisingly it's quite comfortable in there out of the wind and weather.

Now there is more room to grow in the

other greenhouses.
