I have lusted for it ever since I first saw it in one of your posts about it a long time ago. It's such a cool plant! Ricki turned me onto green Zinnias a few years ago, but I STILL have yet to grow any of my own. I just might have to give it a shot. Seeing yours makes me turn a little green myself. Same for the Nicotiana - I just love green flowers! As for my G. Ivanhoe (which incidentally was in a planter with green Echinaceas), it crossed over the rainbow this winter. I think I just didn't have enough sun to make either of them happy.Anna Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02353084595743927603noreply@blogger.com
