I wonder if it is because we are so high up in the mountains. We have a large tree and being new to these flowers I don't know much about them. <BR/><BR/>But, lets be real, our grandchildren are at the top of our list of importance. They can't wait for grandkids week in July.<BR/><BR/>Hope your flowers feel better soon!<BR/>Love ya, JeanneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369681864114551968.post-84071958412488463262008-06-09T10:04:00.000-05:002008-06-09T10:04:00.000-05:00I'm so sorry your plants are suffering!
