I managed to get the lawn mowed this morning and then went outside and took a few pictures of stuff blooming in my yard. This heat is so atrocious that many things seem to be suffering ... including me!

I can't imagine living anywhere other than Florida but I really hate the mid to upper 90's and high humidity!

Crepe Myrtles around here are busting into bloom. This dark pink and light pink are on the same tree (firs time I've seen this happen in the four years we've lived here) and the white 'Natchez' is in my next door neighbor's yard:


Crossandra 'Sundance' .................. Daylily 'Sweet Alpha' ............................. Ixora


Nile Lily (Agapanthus) ............................ Plumbago ..................................... Princess Flower (Tibouchina)


Desert Rose & close up of this morning's blooms ............................... Butterfly Bush Petite 'Tutti Fruitti Pink'


Ground Orchid (Spathoglottis 'Berry Banana'), French Marigold (Tagetes erecta), Lipstick Plant (Aeschynanthes)


Sporadic blooms on Dwarf Yellow Allamanda and Chocolate Cream Allamanda


Spanish Needles (Bidens) - so pretty but Grr taking over the yard!


Pentas, Blue Daze and Marigolds
