You know I've thought about embarking in on that species.....they are supposed to do well here. I'm quickly running out of real estate here--lol

I'm even going to attempt to put some new beds in this summer--if you don't hear from me in a few days in June. Send out the authorities, I've probably had a heart attack in the 30-35C temps during Aug. And Robin probably won't notice either unless she runs out of gas for her car--lol

Beautiful clear yellow color!

I had trouble finding a space for that, it ended up between 3 peonies! Now they are growing and it's done flowering but hasn't died back yet, the dry spell there should suit it for summer.

New beds, oh I have two of those I really HAVE to get done! then space is running out. I found it a little too warm in the 22C we had this afternoon! Had to soak it up in readiness for the 10C we are expecting!

They need shade down here I would suspect.

I read they like full sun, and in Crete, Greece and Turkey it would be hot too. Perhaps a drier climate. Mine is now in a lot of shade but it has roots all around to dry it off, it will get sun in it's main growth period over winter.
