Hi, Ron:

Your garden, too, is a knock-out! You guys really have been getting a rainy season this year, and just like Florida this past September with its plethora of hurricanes, nothing seems to be in moderation! Enuff rain for So Cal for a while! The Delonix regia should be OK, as long as its roots don't "sit" in the rains' runoff for more than an hour or so. We get about 60" of precip a year here, and mine bloom wonderfully, Ron.

BTW: I just got myself registered at Spectre's Jungle, so I'll be posting my Pentagonia inquiry there later today. Thanks for letting me know about the site; it's a perfect fit for my inquisitive horticultural mind! I wanted to introduce you to my rainforest project in Panama. It's at http://www.tropicriverwoods.org It's my future, Ron. Attached is a photo of me with the Caribbean Sea about four miles northwest of where I'm standing. The property is comprised of about 50 acres of hilly woodland in Bocas del Toro Province (about 15 miles southeast of Costa Rica,) A very pretty area, indeed, Ron! I could spend many, many lifetimes there and STILL have much planting to do!!

I'll be wishing that your week features a bit more sun than rain drops!

Luego!

Paul
