One of my summer favorites is this abutilon. There is a pink and yellow in there also, but didn't get into the shot. It is patented hybrid of which I have long the tag long ago. It has grow up into the nectorine and french prune.
Quiltygirl, the ridge I live on is a bit of a micro climate like wcgypsy's area. Since I am 12 miles inland and on a ridge, it is often over 95 here. And I ain't got no ac!
Since I live miles outside of any city, I must use the zip code 95076, which makes me look like I am in zone 9b.
Not as hot as down there, I know, but still too hot for me to be outdoors in it. So I get up way early to get all of the watering done ;-)
The hummingbirds really, really love the abutilons!
