And you've sold me on Russian sage! Your plumeria is just gorgeous! If your neighbor's garden is going to be bulldozed, I would be digging up every plant I wanted!

It will need extra water once the heat hits and will stay fuller if you keep it a bit pinched.Casa Mariposahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647089868277238456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876534142667059931.post-13020541338106734402013-06-16T11:46:05.375-05:002013-06-16T11:46:05.375-05:00My Plumeria has only been planted for about a year...My Plumeria has only been planted for about a year so I guess I need to develop more patience...I'm trying more Gomphrena this year as well - we who live in hot climes need those heat tolerant plants!

Try and save some of that Alpinia ginger from your neighbor's yard.

I haven't grown any this year, but now you've reminded me I must get some soon. Gomphrena 'Buddy Purple' is another favourite of mine too.BernieHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04435004798656616711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876534142667059931.post-70546245986223456572013-06-15T00:31:56.653-05:002013-06-15T00:31:56.653-05:00Thanks for the trip around your garden, so many lo...Thanks for the trip around your garden, so many lovely flowers! Funny you are worried about the heat whilst we here in Britain can’t wait for a bit warmth and sunshine after such a cold spring – we are seriously late with everything in the garden and many of my plants are 6-7 weeks later than normal! Love the Brachycome, never heard about it, and also the Melochia tomentosa, that’s new to me too. Happy GBBD!HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876534142667059931.post-9824136177614244032013-06-14T15:36:08.705-05:002013-06-14T15:36:08.705-05:00Looks like your off to a hot start Daveoo.

I say, definitely dig up the neighbors plants transplant to your garden! My neighbor did as I moved to such a hot zone, none would transplant.
