Pat, thanks for your info. As it would happen, I love geraniums. I have never
tried hibiscus but am anxious to do so. Do you think it is too late for this
season? Our weather in Oregon is not ususally as humid as your weather is.
Watering is a daily chore for the plants on our deck and around the pool. Me, a
watering can, and miracle grow once a week. This is our first year with a pool.
So it has been trial and error to see what will do best around the water.
Plants that I started earlier and were thriving are now becoming stunted from
the heat. I have various sediums in pots that love it out there. Do you have
indoor or outdoor begonias. I have scads of indoor begonias, they are one of my
favoriate plants. Along with anything else that I can drag into the house.
Happy Gardening. Dawn
