Thanks Terri and Candee. Summers are hot here and the varieties of flowers in bloom are dwindling. One plant that always provide a nice bright splash of color is the crocosmia. Pictured here with Russelia equisetiformis (firecracker plant). Crocosmias spread freely with lots of little bulblets. It is ironic that the one place that I wanted them to thrive - they died. I have them in three areas around the house - this area under the cherry tree is shaded most of the time. They do well in sun too.
