Sweetmommy, do you have dear around your area? and if so do they eat the Texas star hibiscus?
Someone asked me about it, bur we don't have dear in the city, so i don't know, maybe someone does.

Who can't love Cowpen Daisies?
The color of this Salvia is stunning. If only I could remember the name! I will have to research it.
The cooler temps have brought out the Texas Betony & Zexmenia blooms
Lovely, Stephanie!
The salvia looks like Cedar Sage very nice and healthy looking.
If memory serves me correctly (which is questionable lately!!), it's Bog Sage.
Well, here is Bog Sage; http://www.my-photo-gallery.com/bog-sage-flowers-187/
and Cedar Sage; http://www.wildflower.org/gallery/result.php?id_image=24452
I know for certain it's not Cedar Sage because the plant is too tall for that. I do have some cedar sage, though.
Now that I'm home, I checked my trade list and it's Red Mountain Sage. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/64090/
Yes, your picture does look like the link you posted.
Stephanie - I love your red Sage. We have red, but not that deep cherry red....so pretty. And our Hummers and Bees LOVE the Salvia
newton - do the garlic chives smell? Our skullcap is looking scraggly too....one croaked already.
sweetmommy - lovely, lovely blooms. And a mongo butterfly!
Our Texas Sage was in bloom this morning with Bees all over it.
Salvia with friend
I think this third one is a weed....maybe Binda Vine? Pretty flower, but we usually pull these.
Morgan, you should enter your picture of Texas Sage in a contest. I have never seen one like it, how did you manage the lighting? It is amazing.
Josephine.
frostweed - Thank you. I've been taking lots of back lit photos in the morning and sunset. This one was practically straight into the morning sun. I was looking to get a bee back lit, but snapped so many a few came out pretty good.
Here's another but the bee is way blurry.....they just don't hold still and pose like I want them to! LOL
Very nice, but the other one is amazing.
I agree! That first pic is amazing!
Thank you guys so much. Until digital came along I never really cared for photography.....now it's fun!
Yes, it surely is.
