Hey everyone, I have recently really gotten into growing flowers for my aero garden. I have a couple things that have done really well over the past 2 months. The beacon series impatiens walleriana are doing very well, which I started from seed in the aero garden. It is slowly taking over the whole aero garden, but it has become sort of a stock plant for me, which I am taking cuttings and propagating for the warm season ahead 
. I am thinking I will eventually take it out, pot it up, and start all over, perhaps with another color, as I have rose and red seeds as well.
I also have impatiens hawkeri (new guinea impatiens) which I grew from cutting in the aero garden and has worked pretty well, but it has been taken over by its sibling, walleriana, so it is growing a bit slow.
Then, I have impatiens balsamiana (garden balsam) 'Camellia flowered mix,' which is the very leafy impatiens on the right that I started from seed. They haven't started to flower, but I also pinched them, just like all my other ones, so perhaps it delayed its flowering a bit.
In the back, I am propagating a Zinnia 'Zahara,' which I am still waiting on to root over the past week, it is supposed to have slightly bigger flowers than the Profusion series, but still stays small for the aero garden.
Additionally, I have a petunia multiflora 'Hurrah,' which I propagated from cutting into the aero garden and the cuttings took and putting on some nice new growth.
