They don't smell good but they make up for it with their beauty. Great shot Ruth #1276464Ruth E. Foster-Lindsay June 07, 2010
Thanks Ron! Yes they are pretty and don't smell good, but that's why they are one of my favs. The deer don't like 'em! If I have impatiens around, they constantly nibble them. LOL! #8673860Robert R. Goodman June 07, 2010

Beautiful capture Ruth, the colours are wonderful! #8676933Annie Booth June 08, 2010
Ruth- great capture of these little beauties. I planted some more this year. At the Arboretum, where I go alot, they use these plants for a natural pesticide. They plant them among their vegetables and especially the tomatoes. I guess it works, I have never seen a bug on any of their plants yet.Have a great day my friend. #8678712
