Most of those beautiful ones above have finished their season here,
My Urn plant is starting it's annual bloom.
That last NOID looks like a butterfly weed. Do you remember planting any of that?
The wild Guara is starting to bloom.
I transplanted my white gaura to a better location this spring and I've missed its dainty blooms. I've gotten some, but not like I did last year because it's been getting settled. I hope to get lots of blooms in the fall!
The Orchids love the heat, as long as they get water every day.
My Cosmos have showed up again. These things are prolific!
The big red Hibiscus loves the heat.
Bulbine
Bougainvilla
Mockingbird in the Calibrachoa

Luna Pink Swirl Hibiscus
my first noid plant is a chinese forget-me-not, thanks
the second noid is a butterfly weed, thank you stephanietx.
My shasta daisy opened today. It looks a bit bug eaten!
My NOID daylilies are still blooming.
Cosmos (orange), rudbeckia hirta, and butterfly bush
Stephanie, you and I share quite a few of the same plants. :-) When I planted these Cosmos from seed this spring, I had NO idea they would grow to be so tall.
Carla
I really like them! I'm not sure about your's, but mine only get about 18" or so tall, unlike the regular cosmos that get tall. These are self-seeded from last year. If you don't want millions of volunteers next year, make sure you deadhead promptly!! They really add some fun to the garden!
Lots of beauties.Hope I can add something new soon.
What a difference a zone makes.Orchids grow in Texas! That pink swirl hibiscus looks like it wants to party.
placenciarita, Post #5091866 looks like Byzantine Emperor.
So, if I have a TALL cosmos growing (hasn't bloomed yet), it's probably an orange one? I was expecting pink.
Hey, Carla. Before I had a bedful of coneflowers, I had the same bed full of....... very tall orange cosmos. :)
A break from work tonight....
phlox 'John Fannick'
Texas Star Hibiscus white, Rangoon creeper, phlox 'John Fannick', Tigridium flore pleno lily, native Stachys coccinea--can't say that the orange lilies really fit in there all that well but I really like them and they'll be gone soon
native Centrosema virginianum just starting to bloom this year--host plant for painted ladies
these are just starting to get going good in the heat but will bloom prolically from now until mid-October
Scutellaria alpina ssp supina (the yellow one), this one is sometimes sold under the variation name Scutellaria alpina 'Moonbeam'. Most people think that if a plant has a name its a hybrid and this often is not the case--its just a particular strain or clone of a species that is rather nice. Scutellaria's I grow a lot of different species of and know a great deal about them; particularly the smaller, arid species. S alpina can always be easily recognized by the deeply crenate (scalloped or toothed) leaves and the flowers appear in dense quadrangular clusters about 2 cm long. S alpina can be pink, yellow, lavender, or dark purple--I have some others but I'll save those for another day.
The purple one is a sterile hybrid 'Violet Cloud'
this rangoon creeper will bloom prolifically and solidly from now until mid October--scent fills the whole back yard
