The plants in my raised bed on the corner are still going strong. Plants (which you are able to see) in this bed include cosmos (had to cut back twice because they grew so tall), bat-face cuphea, scarlet sage (salvia) 'Forest Fire', red fairy duster hybrid 'Sierra Starr' (Calliandra), blackfoot daisy, Laura Bush petunia, firecracker plant in container (Russelia equisetiformis), mealy cup sage (Duelberg Sage, 'Henry Duelberg'), blue daze, Japanese barberry, dwarf redleaf barberry 'Crimson Pygmy',yellow lantan, butterfly weed, damianita daisy (Chrysactinia mexicana) which is not blooming right now and hybrid portulaca. Large trees are shrubs include red crepe myrtle which have lost their leaves already, golden thyrallis and mountain sage. The Texas star hibiscus has gone dormant. There is a pink queen's crown (coral vine) vine on the telephone pole. I will be planting cool weather plants along the edges here this week after pulling up the cosmos, vinca and other summer annuals. For some reason the colors are not as bright (not true) as they should be when I upload the photo.
