Grrrr....darned heat!

Good thing I got pictures of my two brugs blooming like mad this morning, because as soon as the heat hit, it fried nearly all the flowers. I was so hoping to be able to enjoy the blooms for a couple of days, but even though I watered thoroughly, the flowers just couldn't hold up to that horrendous heat this afternoon.

The Charles Grimaldi is in the full afternoon sun, but the Frosty Pink gets a lot of afternoon shade. It is close to the outside wall of the apartment, so maybe the heat just radiates off of that.

I'm going to move my CG into the shade this winter. I already have a FP in the shade, and it does great during the heat. The last time I had a CG, I had it on the east side of my house where it only got sun up to about noon, but this one is right in the direct sun at the hottest part of the day. Evidently not a good place for it. I'll post pics once my tablet recharges.
