@haskar Thank you very much, Haskar!

@craftymeg Thank you, Margaret!

@kvphoto My grandmother did too but, she called them moss roses. I still have a packet of seed for that variety - they're multi-colored. Seeds are probably too old to sprout now. She had the prettiest Four O'clocks too. I haven't seen any in years.
