That's really gorgeous, Drew. I like the panorama shots of your Garden of the Giants, too. "Be there dragons in yon forest?" Sympathies for the terrible heat, there! Makes me feel like a wimp for whining about 91deg. and we even got a little spritz of rain this evening. Truth be told, all we've had are spits and spats of rain since Debby moved on. Things are getting very lush but also somewhat dry here again, too.

Rita, that's a beautiful costus, even with the crispy leaves. I think I'm going to pot up some of my Heliconias this fall and winter them over in a warm spot. Most of mine look terrible, and only the one Lobster Claw, and a couple of the others are blooming. They need rehab.

Not much new here today except some jazzy looking Caladiums. Oh wait! the first one's a begonia.
