>We wanted to have mostly native plants, but we love hibiscus type
>shrubs. Since the drought of '98 we are going to go with 100% native
>plants and shrubs. There are even some native shrubs that are in the
>hibiscus family, so that's the way we are going to go. Everything, 100%
>of the non-native flowers and bushes, died, crispy brown dead. It wasn't
>lack of water it was the incredible heat. We had 40 odd days over 100F,
>many at or above 105F.
> Any how, welcome to the Texas, glad to see you on gardeners, hope to
>see you on wildgardens. I hope the information I gave you is helpful and
