Are these houseplants outside for the summer? 💛

@anges they’re outdoor plants, grown as annuals over here apparently but going to try overwinter them. They’re very fussy and already killed one off 😂

This yellow one us another fabulous specimen 💛

@jeatacake thanks Jeff 😊 this one is by far the strongest. Absolutely loaded 💛

❤️💛❤️💛❤️💛 I can't decide 😵

@alan1111 😂 it’s a close one but this yellow did start as your favourite 😛 it’s the best performing one too, by far!

I have a sulution, my favourite will be yellow morning and evening red for the hottest part of the day that's that sorted once and for all, I think 😉

@alan1111 but what about the orange and cerise ones? 😉😂🤣

Overload 😵

@alan1111 🤣😂🤣

@gjones this one has just exploded! Such a quirky plant 😅

So cute and fluffy! I just want to poke it haha

The lady has a new pair of slippers? Very fetching 💛

@gjones I’d never heard of them until this year but they’re adorable. So squishy 😂 I’m attempting to save seed so I’ll let you know if I manage 😁

@jmlincoln they really are tactile little things 😂 I can’t help but squish them when I walk past 🤣

@jeatacake yellow matches the season so much better 😉😂🤣

Aren't they great, the yellow ones my favourite 💛

@alan1111 love them! Can see why you like the yellow 😋 think it might be my favourite too 🤭

If you can collect any seed 😉😉😅

@alan1111 of course 😛

Happy dance 🕺🕺🕺😆

If you see anything I have your more than welcome 👍

Oh interesting....😯

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom they’re strange looking things, thought they were worth a try 😛

@kez001uk I think Slipper is a better word than what I’ve heard them being called....🤭😉

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom had to think about then 🤣🤣🤣 slipper is much nicer! 😆 but if they flower that’s all I’ll see now 🙈😂🤣

@kez001uk sorry Kerry.....my son had one like it and I couldn’t see past it...🤣🤭

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom 🤣 I think getting 5 may have been a terrible idea 😆

Oh no they’re brilliant plants....look forward to seeing them..😀

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom me too, I’m intrigued now 🤣🤣🤣

I'm impressed 👍 I tried these from seed many years ago , found them very difficult, so I'll be interested to see how you get on with them 🙂

Love these the flowers are so unusual

@jeatacake oh no, doesn’t bode well for me if you had trouble with them 😜 they came as decent little plants but already had to chop off some rotten leaves. Here’s hoping I can find their happy place 😂
