<<hot and humid, but no rain for almost two whole days!>>
Wasn't it just last year that you were complaining about the drought?
You are soooooo hard to please!
;-)
We're getting the hot and humid with lots of cloud cover, but with less
than 2 inches of actual rain over the past 2 weeks. The ground is
staying damp as it is drizzling a little each day. A couple of days
ago, I got drenched trying to buy some groceries but drove out of the
rain before I got home!
Yet, the grass has not turned brown all summer.

Vicki, I've enjoyed seeing photos of your babies, and now this nice one
from Loic. Wish I had your energy, Loic!
Just wondering whether or not you've gotten feedback on performance of
any of your aphyllas tolerating climate this far south and east -
Oklahoma, Arkansas, southern TN, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, SC?
Do you know if anyone is working on trying to select aphylla &
aphylla-breds that can tolerate our climate? It would be nice to
re-visit that gene pool. From the branching in seedlings, I assume
aphylla is represented in the background of some of Lloyd Zurbrigg's
and
G.P. Brown rebloomers, but it might be nice to have some 'fresh'
admixtures.
