I don't know what is happening with my luxuriant, eek! The following picture may not show it (I have a cheap camera lol), but more flowers are becoming brown, even new ones. Yes, we have been experiencing high temperatures here as well as high humidity. Research online continually seems to confuse me, because some say it's ok to be in full sun, and others say partial shade.

My luxuriant gets morning sun for about five hours, then shaded because it sits on a balcony ledge. I am guessing the browning is because of heat and humidity, but it's only a guess. I have decided to bring it inside where it will be cooler because we are expecting high temperatures all this next week, and hoping that will help?

The foliage looks fine .. it probably is the heat and humidity .. roses particularly and other plants will do this under those conditions. If it were my plant I'd cut off all the flowers AND buds and give the plant a rest. It take a lot of energy from a plant to produce flowers and even more energy to make seeds.

Yah, the foliage actually does look great, and there is plenty new coming up too Cut off all the flowers? Even the ones that look ok?

That's what I'd do .. give it a good rest.

Ahh, ok thanks! And I like your quote by the way, right on

Thanks .. I thought it fit right in with all the crap that's going on in this country nowadays.

MOST agreed

Here bleeding heart goes dormant when it gets hot. Then comes back in the spring. Would this one do that too?
