Gail, those plants look great to me! Is that first begonia the same as mine? Mine came as a cutting in a trade but I don't remember from who. It might be one you sent me!

Gosh, I know what you mean by the heat but we don't get quite as hot as y'all do in Texas!
We have had mid 90's the past few weeks with heat indexes @100-102 in some areas. Our high today was supposed to be 96 but I don't know if it ever got that hot .. I didn't stay out because it was so oppressive. I looked at the thermostat at noon today and it was already reading 93º. We've had bad storms every afternoon/evening and it's cooled down to 80 right now. This is waay early for us to have such heat, I dread August and September which are usually our hottest months. I look forward to fall, if there is going to be such a thing in the south.

Another large Philo ...
