@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom like looking into the sun 🤩

Sonic orange. Cataloging

I've always loved these plants/flowers. Might have to buy one this year!

@gjones Thayer beautiful aren’t they! The flowers are so big on these. I’m sure you can find space for a few 😉

I might just buy a couple and put them in pots. They do well until our dry heat arrives in a month or so but if they're in pots I could relocate them to a shadier cooler spot. Spring if just about over here now; our temps are already in the low to mid 20's. What are your temps like now?

@gjones I forgot they don’t like full sun and had bought them for my troughs that get no shade 🙈 need to buy alternatives now 😛 that’s the great thing about pots, least you can move them as needed. Oh you’ve got better weather than us! It’s been 21 here today but it’s around 16 most days. Hard adjusting to heat after winter 😅

Glyn finds it hard to adjust to the warmth after our cold winters but after a couple of days working out in the garden my body seems to adjust. I asked Glyn to put lotion on my back a couple of days ago and he said 'did you know you're tanning already!' I spend a lot of hours outside but Glyn's work has him in an air conditioned tractor most of the day so he finds the heat hard to adjust to. @kez001uk

@gjones tanning already 😯 only seems like last week you were knee deep in snow 😅 sounds like Glyn has the ideal job, air conditioning on those sweltering days sounds heavenly 😍 but I guess being cool all the time does make the heat hit you worse

@kez001uk Around here, on May 15th, it's like somebody throws a switch and turns on the heat😄😄😄

@gjones must be nice to have a reliable heat switch 😛 we are still getting frost in some areas!
