Crystal Blue Persuasion x Lady Neva

Thats a lovely one

It started raining, so I am going to pass on seeing how everything is doing. This should have had the petals curling all the way under, making a nice bun.

Lol I don't blame you but the plants will love the rain. I thought it looked like that the petals curling back but you want them further back then perhaps next year as I find plants can alter slightly over years.

We had about 2mm of rain yesterday, just enough to get everything above ground wet, but not enough to do the roots any good. Plants will change from the first scapes to when they rebloom a little later. It takes about 3-4 years for them to fully develop.

There s me just told Waddy and Stan you ve got rain over there so we should all go over there to the Azores where you are because its so hot here also California ..lol

Yes that amount of rain would nt do much for the roots I did nt realise they took that long to develop.

It stayed below 70°F today, so back into long pants. August will be miserable, however.

I thought thatvwould be medium weather.
So is your August hot or cold .

It never gets above 27°C. I switch back and forth between F & C because of how I get the information. The news channel gives the days highs and lows in C; but the clock by my computer has a temperature gage that is set for F. Then there are the websites that include "Real Feel". That makes August very hot, especially with the humidity in the 90%'s. The UV levels are usually very high: 9's and 10's on that scale. I am already looking forward to September when it starts to cool down.

I have never understood weather degrees centre grade or faranite I just mainly study plants like the Scarlet Pimpinel the farmers weather glass and animals and winds and the moon and look out my window for what its like that morning lol I discovered all this in an old folk law book
like ring around the moon.

lol I bet you cant await when its cooler in September I think a lot here are saying the same I dont mind as lon as there is a breeze.

We get what is know as the Azorian High - a high pressure area that sits over us, keeps the winds down, and most of the storms go to the north and slam into the UK.

How interesting what pressure can do so its you hitting us with our stotms then right lol?
