Really makes a difference, doesn't it? We haven't gotten as much rain as you have, but we're definitely catching up, and the various amorphs and calo/alocasias and such sure are lovin' it. Some I thought I'd lost have come back from all the dry that made them either not come up this spring or go back to sleep. Still a few more to show up, (I'll try it, but not sure!)peonifolius? hasn't shown up yet, and I'd thought this year it should bloom.

I've mostly quit posting on GW, but happened to check in to see what was up and am glad to hear that your Amorphs are doing so well for you. I have maybe another 100 that need to get all the way up, but the rest are happy with the rain we have had all summer as well....not as much as you, but it rains several times each week, making it tough to fertilize as well. Best of luck with them :o) Dan

Rain is good- providing you have the drainage.. I'm somewhere else also, Blue, but I check back here, too.

I'm thinking maybe the rain in summer with the heat is fine, but maybe not so good in winter. Only reason I can come up with for my paeonifoliums not coming back. But then, we've been pretty much in a drought (for here) for two or three years now, so I'm not sure.
