Bonaventure. I think the natural history of these plants needs to be take=n
into consideration.  During the monsoonal season, they're probably lke so=me
other plants that can take almost unlimited water, as long as it doesn't
stand around their bases.  After flowering, they need to dry off, some
faster than others.   Lots of Central Asian, Turkish and middle easten
plants are like this.   .    Also one of the principal pathogens, Erwinia
carotovorum and many fungi (Botrytis) thrive on cool wet conditions,  and
can kill a plant before one is aware that it has been invaded.    Adam
