Impressive! I may have to pick one up at Walmart!

Your petunias are fabulous, Sher! Two pods? Yes, the cascading petunias are like that. It's why I love them for transplanting to the display boxes beside our front gate.
S
lynnee, yours are just stunning. They brighten up the whole threads they appear in.
S
They really do give you a display

This is the only flower kit I truly like. I've grown it at three different factories I've worked at and at home. It's always beautiful.

Our local Walmart has the 6-pod Petunia kit for $6.99. So, you know...

Look how 2 pods of petunias are already cramming the Harvest deck. I will have to do some major thinning out soon.

I think that's a good problem! They look beautiful!

Go easy on the thinning, Sher. Those petunias look mighty fine to me!
S
Too late. Some of the plants squashed at the bottom were getting mottled and yellowing from lack of light. So I took the ones that looked bad out. Already I can't tell where I removed the foliage. And I have a flower blooming on the bottom out of sight. But thank you very much for the compliment!

Well, they looked yellow before they opened fully, but they turned out to be pink.

Yellow is nice, but I think I like pink even better!

Yellow is a rare color, I think. Your bright pink petunias are beautiful! 😀

Thanks.

What a lovely surprise

So far I have two yellow petunias. I know there were more than one seed in each pod. I am hoping some other colors show up from them.

I'm glad that yours aren't all white! You wanted color.
S
That is the thing with mixes. You never know what color the seeds will turn into..unless you purchase individual colors and purposely plant. But what is the fun in that, right?

My two little surviving petunias are starting to grow a little.

The survivors look fine! Something that surprised me, is that my oldest, leggiest outdoor petunias have actually reseeded themselves. All I did was water them. Never expected that. 😀
S
What a wonderful surprise!
