Happy Flower Friday!
It's August and pretty soon we will be complaining about the cold. Although we had a splendid spring, the summer here has been challenging. Yes we had a lot of heat, but the lack of rainfall has really been a detriment to the plants and the gardeners. I hope your season was better and I hope summer ends better wetter for us.
This week Sue sent a photo of her perennial amaryllis. I didn't know there was a perennial version of this flower! She says it's blooming early this year:
My perennial hibiscus is blooming:
My mother has an hibiscus but it is an annual. My brother bought it before he was sick. I suddenly realized a week ago that the flower is a double version which I've never seen before.
I don't remember seeing crepe myrtles in gardens when I was a child but we sure have a lot of them in my neighborhood these days. Here is Charlie's:
And Peter's garden is displaying a charming combination of raspberries and roses.
Wishing you a safe and happy weekend!
Enjoyed seeing the pink lilies We always called them "Naked Ladies" because they just come up out of the ground with no foliage at the base. I can't seem to get them to grow here. Maybe I'll try again. . .
ReplyDeleteLove these photos. Makes me miss hibiscus, we had them in south Texas but I have not tried one here. It's too hot for anything to grow, everything is baking right now. I need to move north!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely sentiment in today's meme. Pretty flowers, too.
