Here's a question for those of you who know California natives.  I'm
planting a fremontia and I know that summer water spells death for these
plants.  But how do I get it through the first summer?  Do I water a few
times the first summer and then stop or do I leave it to its own devices.
It's in a 1 gal. container, and about 14 inches tall, and flowering now
(they are incredibly beautiful in flower!).

Thanks!

Nan

So goes an old chinese proverb:
         If you want to be happy for a few hours, get drunk;
         If you want to be happy for a week-end get married;
         If you want to be happy for a week, barbeque a pig;
         If you want to be happy all your life long become a gardener
