We received a little rain last night (0.04 inches and are thankful for it), but the clouds would not open up and give us the amount of water that we really wanted or needed to revive the land. We remain dry. Here is a nice picture of today's sun!The Byzantines are selling fast, as we just launched an e-mail campaign. Be sure to get them while you can.
The crinums are surviving the drought, but they have looked better! This burgundy Crinum Ellen Bosanquet is blooming, but you can see how it is not in it's peak condition.
The Crinum 'Summer Nocturne' is doing much, much better. The fragrance is out of this world.
The wax myrtle shrubs we planted for a natural screen seem to be doing the best. They are a native (Myrica cerifera)and explains their adaptation to this long dry period.
Grasshoppers are a problem this year, but we have some natural controls. I would like to formally thank the cardinal society for their contributions to our ongoing efforts to keep our streets clean of overeating grasshoppers.
