The flowers were thriving, but now many have blackened and died. I thought maybe I hadn't watered or fertilized enough but maybe (hopefully!) they just need to be removed so new buds can grow. I live in a little 50s house in Maryland, pretty far from France, but proof that a box full of blooms can liven up any window. :) PS, we watched the French Open yesterday, so exciting! Tho must confess we were cheering for the underdog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-22677445193478987712009-05-14T07:30:00.000+02:002009-05-14T07:30:00.000+02:00evol, they really brighten up the place, don't the...evol, they really brighten up the place, don't they?<br /><br />judy, merci!<br /><br />jean, they came with the house, so why not? :)<br /><br />nadege, we have impatiens, too, in jardinières on the north side of the house.<br /><br />patrick, ours get sticky, as well.

I tried them many, many years ago....the wood warped, they split open, the water and soil dumped out everywhere on the ground below.

I tried surfinias one year, but although they looked spectacular, I couldn't get on with their stickiness (aphids?), especially since they needed dead-heading so often.Autolycushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17642868944400656922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-27298921706123327732009-05-13T14:49:00.000+02:002009-05-13T14:49:00.000+02:00You wouldn't have trouble finding my house in Manh...You wouldn't have trouble finding my house in Manhattan Beach. I have geraniums hanging everywhere. I planted petunias last year but worms got them. They didn't bother the geraniums as much. Impatience are popular in France too. <br />I read in the LA Times yesterday that Cannes was not going to be too interesting this year.
