    Missing your photos @Marlorena. Hope you are doing well.

    And then my heart with pleasure fills,
    And dances with the daffodils (roses). Taking a bit of liberty with Wordsworth :)

    @Nollie Have too many examples like that among my potted roses; HT roses seem to be worst affected by heat :s

    Thanks Nollie. 

    Despite the very hot temperatures, I  still have some humidity here (about 40/50%) due to the big artificial canal (made from Romans) I have in front of my house and the many little canals on the other side which serve for agricultural irrigation purposes (but are all dry now, and that too never happened before).
    Even though the big artificial canal is about 2/3 meters lower than usual, there is the groundwater under my house, and thanks for it! Otherwise I would have all the earth in the garden cracked dry.

    maybe I will give it a try to a bourbon rose, they are so beautiful.

    @Eustace I like hibiscus too, but I so much like many other plants that I can’t have because they are poisonous to cats and my cats don’t know which plants they shouldn’t eat, unfortunately.

    I always need to check the plants toxicity before getting them.
    I’d love to have some Clematis, for instance, but that’s not to be, at least not in the patio garden (the cats can’t go to the upper garden). Anyway, I always prefer having non-toxic plant.

    But why 'Horrible format'?

    Ah, it's not about the vid's content. Youtube, competing with Tik Tok, now have a "shorts" format for videos of only a few minutes, on a loop. I like to open a flower video into full screen so I can see it clearly. But you can't with 'shorts'. I find the format cramped in every kind of way. But that's just me. Kids seem to love the style.

    I know what you mean , Fire.
    DA posted one today and it's lovely but too short!

    Who likes short shorts?

    I don't have many crispy flowers. Most of my roses are in between flushes or might have gone dormant.

    Er...right...thanks for the explanation @Fire. I don't really bother much with a lot of internet stuff so I wouldn't have known. 
    Can see how the loop and brevity might irritate. It would have been nice if it was in one of the videos from Fraser Valley roses.
    But what a rose!

    A stunning rose. I'm just in a bad mood. Ignore me x
