Yes, Desert... 30 miles west of Palm Springs (Desert) lol... It at times has been at 113-117 for weeks. That is why the buds fall off. The heat turns them yellow, and bakes the new baby buds. But, on the other hand, Fall, Winter, Spring, they are gorgeous. One side of my house can have MGs all year, I found out this past year, one kniola survived on its own and kept on blooming all year.

The other thing is, I planted them really late too. I couldn't get my hands on seeds till then. Started the first batch in mid-march, 2nd round 4/23, 3rd round 5/27, 4th round 6/12, 5th round 6/19 and 6th round July 8. Talk about late..lol

edited:to add: We also get a frost here and last year we got snow.. it is so confusing to me and the plants.. we only get enough frost about 3 times out of the winter season, just enough to cause damage overnight to the citrus and plants here, sometimes enough to kill them off.

This coming year, I should have some seeds to start earlier.

Here is Akatsuki Murasaki's first blooms today.
