    Those are gorgeous.

    Mine are yet another victim of the heat and not being able to water but twice a week. Don't think I will be planting them again.

    We have been having temperatures between 105-110f (40-43c) for most of the summer. No clouds, low humidity and no rain for 73 days, water restrictions mean I can only legally water on Wed and Saturdays....so they just really didn't have a chance after the beginning of June :rolleyes:

    Those are gorgeous. I had some last year that did really well... but they just didn't come back strong this year. I do like them and plan on getting some more.

    I especially like the second gazinia. I like the contrasting colors.
