Hello Everyone, It seems that with this long, dry, and very hot period, all we do is work to keep plants alive, the round of watering seems never ending.

Hopefully this month will bring some rain and cooler weather, and also the fall bloomers. I am looking forward to the Maximillian sunflowers, the Goldenrod, and the Purple Asters, they surely make a striking combination with a little sprinkling of white Heath Aster.
Right now we have Mexican Petunia, Frostweed, Turk's Cap, Lantana, Partridge pea
and Four O'clocks blooming.
Yesterday I found this adorable Silve-leaf nightshade bloom, it looks like tissue paper, and such a pretty color.
Silver leaf Nightshade, Solanum elaeagnifolium. Very humble and common, but with a special beauty.
