Hi James,
If you are including local weather, please mention where you live. Some of us are newbies and don't know names of anyone.

Dear P.
It has been years since I vaguely thought about PCNs and you are in the midst. Surely you have a better educated guess than I do. Wish I could grow I munzii. Does nay one still t ry with success. ?
No useful pictures in the messages.
Are you seeing declines in native lilies too? Climate woes.
We are in the start of a 10 day(maybe longer) heat wave maybe up to 103 (feels like) and NO 0 ZERO - rain.
We have no urge to garden in these temps. Weeds love it - of course.
Any progress on the garden/estate ? Cool hugs J & J
