Occasionally we have four to six days of rain. UGH, we sun lovers all go nuts. The Adeniums don't much like it. I don't have the best draining medium in the pots for that much water. The plants that are very much rootbound are OK. newly potted are protected, because they do get rot sometimes. Sometimes too much water settles into bud groups and they rot.

The worst problem is that when raindrops are big, and they hit the soft flower petals, the flowers get ugly brown bruises.

Oh, and sometimes plants grow so much during the wet cloudy time, that they get sunburnt if the first day of sun is cloudless, wowee.

JT, the two you sent me are doing great! I'll have to take photos sometime, but I have so many plants on my deck it's difficult to get a decent photo...

And rain in Texas isn't something to sniff at...
