| 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?  "I am a drug.

| 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. "The Universe speaks in many languages, but only one voice. It speaks in the language of hope; It speaks in the language of trust; It speaks in the language of strength, and the language of compassion. It is the language of the heart and the language of the soul. But always, it is the same voice. It is the voice of our ancestors, speaking through us, And the voice of our inheritors, waiting to be born. It is the small, still voice that says: We are one. No matter the blood; No matter the skin; No matter the world; No matter the star; We are one. No matter the pain; No matter the darkness; No matter the loss; No matter the fear; We are one. Here, gathered together in common cause. we agree to recognize this singular truth, and this singular rule: That we must be kind to one another, because each voice enriches us and ennobles us, and each voice lost diminishes us. We are the voice of the Universe, the soul of creation, the fire that will light the way to a better future. We are one." G'Kar |

| Thanks .. I thought it fit right in with all the crap that's going on in this country nowadays. "The Universe speaks in many languages, but only one voice.
