Natalie, I mentioned the kiddie pool to my wife, and she thinks wal-mart has some for around $10, so reasonable. My credit card was charged Monday, so maybe will be receiving them today or tomorrow, right before the hottest 3 days. They are very tough plants, and coming from California I assume used to heat. probably won't bloom this year, but they should make it.
Kyla, you are right, we have a dry heat here, the sprinklers will be running non stop for awile.
