A recent 113 deg day turned my raphiolepis into crispy critters, as the photo shows. Some look worse than those shown. In anticipation of the hot day, I deep watered them the night before. Was this the wrong thing to do? Is it possible they\'ll recover? Is there anything that i can do to help them survive? They are in full sun in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles. It\'s only June! In case it\'s important, they were planted in December and were green in the morning of the hot day. Some are \"Clara\" and some are \"Bay Breeze.\" Any suggestions you can give will be most appreciated..
