Wish mine would bloom like this - it only seems to bloom at the top................

Meanie:

This one has always been growing outside. I think you'll notice since you moved your plant outside, it'll bloom more prolifically. This plant loves a lot of heat. It will tolerate very high temps without any problems, as long as it's in semi-shade or shade.

Well, mine now has low temps and nearly full sun (when it's out)!!

Meanie:

I noticed the forecasted high for London will be 79ºF/26ºC. on Thursday. That's not so bad.

Not sure if the temps are similar where you live, are they?

Pretty much the same, with showers and chance of thunderstorms!

It's only been about 3 or 4 degrees warmer here (where I live). The nights are much warmer, though. Tomorrow is suppose to be a pretty warm day, though, 90ºF/32ºC.

Not too bad today, which was good as my Dracunculus vulgaris has bloomed!

Meanie:

That's terrific!
