So, anyway, here's a picture. Of an astoundingly neat petunia I found at one of my favorite plant shops in Eugene. I don't usually go for petunias, because they are so susceptible to being attacked by "green eaters" around mid-summer ("green eaters" being cabbage butterfly larvae that are particularly fond of petunia flowers...)
But this one was so very cool, I had to have one. And I actually got it planted in a pot before it died!
So here's the mug shot:
Yeah, it's huge. And, yeah...the flowers are deep pink, with purple veins and edged in green.
Pretty neat, huh?

Absolutely, drop dead GORGEOUS! And is there scent to these? Because I swear I can almost smell them...
Unfortunately, Judi, pretty smell is not in the petunia's repertoire. It smells...like a petunia. Not great. :D
Better than neat....just BEAUTIFUL!
