Notes:
6.8.08 - plants were not in bloom at time of purchase, but are starting to get some color. Vine is growing, but at a slower pace than the ivy in other pots.

9.17.08 - the flowers did OK, but they aren't very colorful when in bloom (the color is all right on top). I don't think I'd purchase these again. They do have a neat texture though. The vinca vine did fine but didn't grow as long as I've experienced in the past.
