Well, the sun started shining about 15 minutes ago and it is dark in the south so the rain went just past us. And on and on it goes...
I looked at the drought map and we are in the dark brown too. Interesting (and disheartening) map.
I had one scape with three or four blooms on my Kwanso and they didn't look very good. H. Lingering Loveliness, a late bloomer, had two scapes and all the blooms rotted before opening, so I didn't even get to see any blooms on it this year.
I see on the map that the rain may span a wide area south and west of us. Maybe you will get some!
