SHARE YOUR SUMMERTIME BLOOMS!
This is a beautiful lavender bloom of my Society Garlic but you can hardly see it. Where's Waldo?? I have some here and there in the garden to deter bugs.

It's so cute

Lots blooming for me too

Marie, you have the most incredible blooms! MORE MORE!!!

Of course, this is purslane. It grew from a pile of dirt in a pot from last year!

I love purslane. Ir eally need to add some to my garden.

Angelonia.......it grows great in the sun and spreads quickly!
Compliments of Target.

more purslane (Summer winds)

love the yellow hibiscus!

Yellow Hibiscus is really pretty!

Japanese MG - Kikyo Zaki

Hardy Hibiscus - Dinnerplate

oooooooooh I love both the Kikyo Zaki and hibiscus! So pretty!!!

Thanks Boo - the hib blooms are gorgeous. Mine is in pretty much full sun (my bad) so the blooms don't hold up all day in the heat. I thought it would get more pm shade where it's at...

My yellow one is the same but my red blooms stay open all day. I am leasing my home. When it's time to buy again, I have garden factors that are important!
My last house has a backyard that faced east. My plants loved that!

How nice... The east side of my house is all concrete and driveway - bummer.

My house now is lush but only in the front. The back yard is so far away from the patio area, I don't use it. If I owned it I would add a brick patio and water fountain and make the whole area a shade garden. Alas, it's not the right season for me to own!

Love all of the blooms ladies. Love those dinnerplate hibiscus!!

Marie, what is this? Another hibiscus I have never seen before????

Yes it is a hardy hibiscus. the only kind I can grow since it is so cold in the winter out where I am.

I didn't realize you are that much higher in elevation. Pretty red ones too.

I am not at a higher elevation, just in the lowest point I think in the valley and near the river which cause a cold pocket. You all can be 32 but I will be at 22 or less. We have noticed anywhere from a 10-14 degree difference in
the winter temps. Now if we only got that in the summer it might be worth it but no that is not the case at all.
