Day 227: As I was wandering around Watson's Nursery looking for annuals for my hanging baskets, I encountered this relatively new introduction to the US gardening scene. Scaevola is an Australian/Polynesian species, known commonly as Fan Flower or Half-Flower. It has trailing stems, a long flowering period, and purportedly tolerates forgetful watering, a feature I hope not to put to the test. It comes in a number of different colours. It seems to grow fairly rapidly. Mine have only been in the baskets a few weeks and are already starting to hang over the sides, flowers emerging at almost every node. I think I'm going to like this one!
