Well, I decided to add the new acquisitions from Lowes this year during the over month long frenzy. If any of you have these and don't think they will do well in my area, please advise. I realize some need extreme heat to have the color pop. Here goes: ALCHEMY,ADAGIO, CHRISTINA,COTE DE ORO (2) ,DESERT SUNRISE,EL CORAZON,ELECTRIC,ESSENCE, EXOTICA (2), FIGI MIST,FOOLS GOLD, HONEYPOT, INCA GOLD,JENNY, LAREDO PRINCESS, MILAN, MONET, NIRVANA, RED JACK, TAI SURPRISE, TIGER, TONG DENG AND WHIRLWIND. 3 of these were not purchased at Lowes. But a BIG thank you goes out to John at Jungle Jack for even selling his great plumeria to Lowes. A great way for many of us to increase our collection who cannot make it down to Vista. Added 25 JJs this season....10 of others off the wish list.

Hope you all have had a great Summer, we are looking forward to school to start for the little darlings and it get a little quieter around the hood. roxanne
