Do you have to bring any of them inside for cold protection? (My frangipani live in a garage over winter and come out in April.) <BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118703221138865382.post-61504436739130077802008-06-18T14:25:00.000-05:002008-06-18T14:25:00.000-05:00Hi there Mary Beth :-)What a wonderful ‘hot' selec...<B>Hi there Mary Beth :-)</B><BR/><BR/>What a wonderful ‘hot' selection of blooms.

You really have quite a variety. And I can't tell that the heat is getting to them. We've had rain-rain- and more rain here and the temps have been exceptionally high for this time of the year. So a lot of our plants have really done well. Enjoyed visiting and thank you for sharing your garden.beckiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06400859161321357279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118703221138865382.post-38035103264887991232008-06-16T17:01:00.000-05:002008-06-16T17:01:00.000-05:00You have some truly strong plants in your neck of ...You have some truly strong plants in your neck of the woods!
