Thanks Dianne.
I will keep in mind your offer as the weather eventually cools down.
I am just passing through on my way to bed. Its still very hot here and we have plenty more days of heat to come.
GHA is doing me proud here. Full of flowers no matter how hot it gets.
Of course the flowers burn in the heat but lots more pop out.
I think he is setting an example for those growing along near him as they are looking pretty good too.
Ivoire, DPnG, Tantra, Fernando, old Apricot and my lovely Senorita Rosada.

I will be moving the others that are under the ash tree soon. They will spend autumn /winter in the shadehouse near GHA. .
The mites are still here but I think I'm winning the battle.
The Iochromas are so tall. They are not bothered by the heat at all and are flowering like mad.
I may even move the few neglected ones that are out among the bottlebrushes. The two I have near GHA along the greenhouse do a great job of shading the brugs and there is room for a couple more . They also dont require the constant watering or fertilising like the brugs.

Well I hope you are all coping in the heat.
I am off to bed.
Heres my GHA last week. You can see a few toasted tips here and there.
A bit paler in the heat but still lovely.
