Special Treat - Rosie's Flowers And An Outer Banks Summer Thunderstorm.
Please join Rosie for yet anotherwalk
through her hot, humid garden.
This is my Peruvian daffodil.
Golden Celebration rose.
Celosia.
Ruellia is in the foreground
with the purple petunia-like flowers.
Delicate Russian sage in flower behind it.
You can dig up sections of the ruellia
and transplant it and it will take and spread.
Dies back in the winter
and comes back strong in the spring.
I took the next picture right after leaving the cool,
air-conditioned comfort of my house
and venturing into 90 + degree heat.
My lens fogged up.
I wanted to show you my zucchini plants.
They're beautiful.
And here are my squash plants.
Gosh.
It's hot out here.
Shamrocks, oxalis, laurentia,
and the shiny, glittery rock Mr. Hawthorne brought back
from his family farm in Yadkinville.
Argiope aurantia, the Garden Spider. The zig zags in the web are from where it took up slack first from the right, and then from the left. You really need to watch one do this, it's fascinating. They also can shoot their web over six feet. We know this because we kept one in the house, and she was always splatting us from a distance.
My Tamarix (probably the only one in this town) blooms about every two weeks. It loves water, and blooms in appreciation.
Hepsi birbirinden muhteşem resimler. Paylaşımınız için teşekkürler.
ReplyDeleteSaygılar.
I love Fuat's comment. My thoughts exactly. How come we didn't get any storm? We're still crackly dry.
ReplyDeleteI also have to agree with Fuat. poor sunflowers!
ReplyDeleteYeah, what Fuat said.
