This red salvia is opening up. I think it's going to be gorgeous on 4th of July. I figured out that the blue salvia is a mealy blue sage. LOL
Summer Blooms (June Blooms part 2)
Who remembers who I got the red salvia from at the RU in Arlington in May? Is it a perennial or do I need to save seeds?
This little Katie's pink ruellia has been growing in my cement slab for a couple of years. Every year I think it won't come back and every year it does. I think it does it just to spite me! LOL
I deadheaded the Moonshine Yarrow and it's still going strong. In the back is gomphrena Strawberry fields and Esperanza.
Very lovely Stephanie.
Lovely pictures everyone.
Cardon is still blooming and it is a show stopper for people that walk by !!
Lots of bees on my Cardon all the time

Beautiful dr!!
Yes, i agree.
Nice to see such healthy plants.
especially in this incredible heat !!!
Curious Drthor, what is your watering scheldule like? Sprinkler system, drip, hand etc.; and for how long.
That cardon is interesting! How big does it grow? I love round shapes.
Rainlilies waking up in the am
Inspiration clematis. It has been a reliable bloomer since April.
Does this happen to your Blanket flower Arizona Sun? Maybe I should have trimmed it back earlier in the season.
Hot Papaya coneflower really enjoyed that rain last week.
Lisianthus, Bluebells...Are these invasive?
Betty Corning clematis...so darling!
Anna...The first Clematis, is it not trellised? Very pretty one. As for the blanket flower, I have never gotten one to return and get that large to know! LOL!
It isn't a climber. It goes over whatever it is near. I like that it adds a layer of interest and if it isn't blooming there isn't any big gap.

Josephine.
Thank you Josephine!
too hot here to breathe, but the hibiscus seem to love it. I can enjoy and photograph them from inside the house
Looks like their feet are near the pond, probably the ideal place for them.
