Sorry, I forgot to spell check and I noticed a few missed spelled words/typos. That happens when you have a dog crying to be let outside and 4 year old yelling for mommy.

I love pansies in my containers. You could have zinnas, marigolds, sun flowers, impatiens, morning glory, petunias, just to name a few. I like Brecks and Richard Owen's Nursery, but I don't know what they have in the way of flowers. Have you tried seeds at all? My in-laws order theirs from Gurneys and have been happy with everything they've received. Good Luck!

Hi Rhonda! [wavey]

How much sun is partial sun for you? [dunno] I love [Love] the begonias in containers because they can take full sun to partial sun and still look great. [thumb]

Well, how about Wild flowers? Celosia? Salvia? or Forget-me-not? Hmm, some others would be: Moss Verbena, Viola, Red Poppies, Moss Roses. That's all I can come up with right now.
BTW, the Moss roses are wonderful. I bought some a couple of years ago, they grew well in a container, and cost me .97 cents per package of seeds at Wal-Mart.
