The temps in Phoenix will rise to 100+ over the weekend so blooms will be few.
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN ---DESTAINED TO SEE
Blooming Today 04/21/12
Wow Lyle, that seems early for such high temps.
It is high, we should be back in the 80's Thursday.
Both of those are looking great. I saw where it was going to be 104 there today. I would not bloom either.
It did hit a 100+ but that isn't like a 110 deg day those are killer....I just finished my hybridizing area and it stays around upper 80's on a day like yesterday....

Great to see that your blooms are underway, Lyle. Are yours starting early, as so many of us suspect ours will be. Destined to See is a favorite in our garden. Don't have God Save the King, but have often admired it.

Thanks Don - I not sure about the bloom season this year. It is almost reverse from years past.
This seedling is the first bloom in my garden, I have had this seedling about 4 yrs and it is always with a few days of blooming.

Sure is a pretty seedling. At least you know you have bloom coming!
Are your petunias all in pots as well? Are there no bugs in AZ...your plants are perfect. Do you ever get rust out there.
Thanks Pam! There are a lot of bugs in Arizona (I just don't allow them to live in my garden..LOL) - remember we may get down to 32deg. a couple of times in the winter and that may be only for a few hours so bugs don't freeze out here...The air is too dry for rust sometimes I can get a small amount (from new arrivals) to live for a short time so I can test seedlings, but the dry air kills it off..
I have potted plants throughout the garden and they self-sow and grow from the pavers the display beds and anywhere they can find soil...
