Ah, I knew you were south of me (nearly everyone but Byron is!), but I was
thinking south east, not southwest. I shoulda known.
Then I would figure you might be right about the lack of water. Also the
location of his plants could be a factor. Does he have them planted next to a
wall that reflects heat? If so it may be well over 95ยบ in the plants
micro-climate and that could cause the blossoms to excise. I guess we really
need more details.
