Aww is that my double colour one? I tooks like it has a lighter center. I hope it smells good Rachel. It got up to 108 here today. All my EEs were laid over, even in the shade, and the brug blooms are now all toast, and they are in the shade too. I sprayed all my plants down to cool them off, they were hot to the touch. I can not remember the last time we had triple digits this time of year so many days in a row. I am sure I did not have plants I cared about back then as I do now.
Rachel, I will send you some yellow, white and my new coral two toned four o clocks. They have a sweet scent.
Yesterday I dug up the dark red philo from Rita, and re-potted it in a new pot with new soild and brought it inside next to Big Boy. I think I am going to bring in the other Philo ( split leaf) this weekend, if it doesn't burn in this heat. so far it is putting out lots of leaves.But it is in the ground.
Jerry, if u get a picture of Rain, let me gaze at it. snow would be good right now.
