I've always been fascinated by Luna Moths. Luckily, I've seen one, but only one in my life. Recently, I've been drawing Luna and other huge moths, so imagine my surprise when I came across this beautiful Luna Rose Rose Mallow with blossoms reminiscent of a full moon. Gorgeous doesn't begin to cover it!
On the needles and other things...
Enjoy the week...

I do love the Luna photos. I searched to find the size of the blossoms and I found seeds for sale for another variety that grows 8" blossoms. If you grew these, and they are anywhere near that size, you did a great job and created something very beautiful!
Wished I could, but I can't take credit for growing this plant from seed. It would be fun to grow from seed though, and if it grew well, beyond rewarding. If I can find seeds, maybe I'll give it a try next year. It's a perennial though, but not sure if it will make it though the winter.
I just ran out to measure and the blooms are 8 inches across! It's amazing.
