@wildflowerhour.bsky.social if it works with your schedule, would you mind sharing this at some point? I did it for garden plants which was interesting but want to focus on wild plants more: www.wildway.info/p/drought-to...

I definitely focused more on perennials... because I mostly looked at my back garden... and the trees and shrubs that have suffered there... we're probably due to a honeyfungus problem... and you didn't want me to mix that in with the weather... most of my trees and shrubs are fine in the front...

Thanks Helen 💞

Maybe with all the heat Crepe Myrtles may find England more favourable for flowering. Can cope with heat and cold but I read need a lot of summer heat to flower well. Nice size and in Australia don’t suffer from the leaf burn in western sun that damages Japanese Maples.

The problem I have in my garden is that plants that do well when it’s dry can’t always cope with the wet heavy clay we have in Winter. 🥴

You'll like these surveys because I split it by north west and south east, so you can see the crossover with drought tolerant and wet tolerant. I'm finding on our wet clay/silt more drought tolerant plants breeze through winter no problem.
