Flowers


The flowers located around the clubhouse, in the flower pots on the deck, and in the planter boxes at the halfway house have looked spectacular all year. Unfortunately, these flowers are specifically summer flowers. The cooler temperatures that we have experienced, and that are currently in the forecast will take a tole on the flowers. We covered them in the evening once last week, and will plan to do it again to extend the life as long as we can.

We cover them with plastic to trap the warm temperatures from the soil. This will prevent frost from setting on the leaves due to the cold air temperatures in the evening. The first frost the flowers experience will kill them. Covering the flowers with plastic in the evening is only a temporary fix, and will only be successful for a few days. The forecast for this weekend has multiple evenings in the low 30's. It is doubtful the flowers will be as vibrant next week. Enjoy them for the rest of this week!

  1. What beautiful layour of the building shown in the photograph. The best thing which I like most is that you guys cover them with plastic to trap the warm temperatures from the soil. Which will prevent them from frost which can harm them in a very bad way.
