Phygelius

I have Phygelius 'Devil's Tears' and have kept it in a pot for now... it has been watered every third day or so in the recent heat.

Yes, I think this will be treated the same way, Shirley. Looking forward to downpours. They must happen at some point, surely?

We had a thundery downpour a couple of days ago, enough to fill the water butts to the brim. Rain showers forecast for Monday morning and Friday afternoon - will believe that when I see them!

We have had quite a lot of rain here, mostly overnight which is great!

Very attractive flowers, Ange. I do like the colour and shape.
We had a sort of light drizzle on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings..

Just enough rain this evening to make the path damp. G ood thing I didnt get too excited when it started...

Thanks for your comments, all.

The showers keep passing us by - they head to the north and south of us like Stera's experience. So frustrating!

We had enough to soak the ground but nothing since. Lovely plant Anget.

Thanks, Linda.

It's called 'Colorburst Orange'. Not very original.

lovely plant Ange

Thanks, Paul. I've had these types before but the colour is new to me.
