Petunias, Bluebells And A Schnauzer

Meet my other dog Coco, a schnauzer.
She is a busybody who loves getting in my way.  Sometimes. When she is not barking at other dogs.


Pretty Mexican Petunia or Mexican Bluebell. It is the easiest plant to grow. If you want a hedge in a hurry this is the plant to go for. When it grows too tall I cut it down and poke the cuttings into the soil.  So easy. I love it.

Purple Torenias

I do believe this is a Torenia hybrid. 
It is also called the Wishbone Flower due to the stamen which resembles a wishbone.
It also has another pretty name called Blue Wings.
In countries with four seasons it blooms from summer to autumn but here in the tropics it blooms all year.
It loves sunshine and plenty of water.
A big thank you to Aunty Dora for giving me these plants!
