    You know Barb, it might be nice to see more of those plants of yours. House plants are important here in Holland as well as outside ones, so naturally I'm interested.

    Putting on a show....boy, you can say that again! These are nice-looking plants aren't they?
    This particular specimen seems to be doing very well. It's not a bad colour either.
    Do you have other colours of this plant? You sure do have a green thumb, don't you, B?
    Any more pics?
    ---Thanks loads

    Striking red flowers Barb especially with the dark green of the leaves. A wise decision I think to bring your tender plants indoors. :-D

    I bring in a pot of regular Impatiens every year and hang them in my kitchen window for the color.I hang them because I have limited windows that actually get sun, and to keep them up out of the kitties way. I love the New Guinea ones too, and have seen both in house plant books.

    Imps

    Wrennie,

    Gueney Imps are so nice......Much larger blooms than the regular..
    One time when they were cheaper priced, I had red and white ones outdoors, Every other one was white.
    They did grow well on the North side of the house. They prefer shade........
    I have some cuttings of the regular imps in water, THink I will plant in soil soon.

    They are a big favorite around here.
