Turns out, they weren't dead. They're considered ephemerals, and they die back and go dormant. Put your pot in a safe place where you can check on it from time to time. It should start to sprout in a few months.

He lived in California not too far from Palm Springs, worked at a resort. That man loved driving cross country to visit the family in Kentucky. At least until his sinuses reminded him of why he lived where he did :)KathyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10680946802191502305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4771557388430184941.post-45086931827657481912013-05-22T15:44:16.550-06:002013-05-22T15:44:16.550-06:00Oh, I love the rich candy apple red of that flower...Oh, I love the rich candy apple red of that flower!

To me it is like nails on a chalk board. <br /><br />I have 3 big labs who leave slobber and nose prints on everything. Especially my sliding glass door. I gave up. <br /><br />If company comes over and frowns at my door, I hand them the glass cleaner and a paper towel and tell them to have at it. <br /><br />One person took me up on it once. And then laughed her butt off ten minutes later when it looked just like it did before she started.

I can't use ammonia because of the fume allergies here, so I use a spray bottle with half vinegar, half water and a microfiber rag after squeegee.
