These MG's sure hate the heat. Short lived blooms right now.
too bad, Marie, that it's not cooler in the summer!

Love that morning glory bloom!!

Marie, I always want to know...what is this? A rain Lilly? Pretty!!!

Yes it is a rain lily bloom. Here are a couple more .

I would like to get some if they are agreeable to an over water type garden. lol

Alan I have had some yellow ones blooming on and off for about a month now. i only have like 3-4 of them planted in different areas. I was kind of surprised that they were all starting to bloom so much with no rain.

What are those yellow daisy looking flowers Marie? They're cute.

Boo - my MGs are crying right now too... They are in pots so I have them under the garden shade, otherwise they'd be toast in my yard.

I've had a few rain lily blooms - all pink. I know I have other colors planted, but will have to wait for the monsoon to see them it looks like.

Whew! It's hot out there today.

I hate to use the word hate............but I HATE the heat!!!!!!!!!!!

Kelly, I moved mine to shade too....

and it looks like steady 110°+ all week long too...

I moved a lot to the patio this morning and cut off stems of purslane to let it spread out all over the back of the garden where I haven't done anything yet.

Look at the size of this Samba rose Purslane! Bigger than a silver dollar.

Pretty! Are they like ice plants? You just stick a piece in the dirt and they root?

yes!

Won't be long they'll be taking over that spot then!

take a look at this from last year...it will show before the blooms and while it was growing.

Very pretty!

That is rudbeckia. It should bestanding tall but it flopped over. I just love the blooms .

Thanks - they are pretty!

I purchased this Calibrachoa in April and it is still going strong, even in the sun. I have a hanging plant too. The purple Calibrachoa that I bought wasn't as hardy as the yellow.

The Verbena, as always, does great even in hanging baskets. This get watered twice a day right now in the summer...one when the temps are under 100.

They remind me of baby petunias.
