KKB - Ahh ok . . . very nice. No I've never had the pleasure of seeing a hummingbird moth . . . maybe my butterfly bushes will attract me some too :)

Speaking of . . . I recently put my Royal Red (and 2 tiny baby Twilight Butterfly Bushes) out in a new garden getting full sun. It was doing great until about 5-6 days ago. It started getting yellow leaves on the lower parts of the plant. It's still blooming fine and putting out new growth along the branches, so I'm not sure what's wrong with it? Maybe too much water? I mulched the bed real good and since it's been so hot down here and the plants in the bed were all new, I was watering every day. When I noticed the yellow leaves I backed off watering these. I hope it recovers. Ideas anyone?

Here's a photo - if that will help?
