Oh, that’s right! Glad you and your plants are settling in. Still sounds gorgeous. :)

I think they need like 3 weeks to get over transplant shock and take advantage of the good container soil they're in now to start filling out. After one or two weeks, they are definitely growing and flowers are opening. The hanging baskets with baby fuschias are definitely growing, buds are opening. I see the calibrachoa has grown in the 2 weeks I've had it; Cherry Star is a very lovely variety, with deep cherry pink petals and yellow rays. I put it in with yellow marigolds and pink/yellow/orange lantana (Pink Bandana) to play on the yellow, and the trailing vinca is yellowish cream with lovely red stems. I cannot believe the gorgeous hue that the heliotrope has, a deep violet--and the fragrance, mmmm. I am getting lots of compliments from the neighbors.
