Moonshine&PaprikaYarrow arediggin' these hot, hot days.
In the midst of a heatwave the best or the worst of us can shine through. The big girls in my flower gardens think this weather is simply divine.
The young pups I planted this spring are screaming for mercy and I am, too.
MunsteadLavender perks up when the temps hit 90.
I really hate hot weather. It makes me want to kill something so this was a good day to pull the most hated of weeds. I felt very lonely while I was out there, sweating like a little piglet. Then I looked around and discovered why. The cats and the dog had ditched me for the comfort of the air-conditioned house. (Slackers, one and all!)
Mystery Flower Friday ~ What could it be? I inherited this tall, (30 inch) reddish-orange beauty from the English Garden I tend in town.Any thoughts on what could it be? The balls are clusters of tiny, star-shaped flowers that range from yellow orange to red.
Hot Weather Watering: "Water should be applied thoroughly, when given, and then withheld until the plant is nearly dry again. This produces strong growth, well-ripened wood, capable of producing healthy blooms. To keep a plant consistently wet may produce quick growth, but it will be a soft growth, incapable of the best results."- Ida D. Bennett, The Flower Garden, 1904.
