Gardening in this area is certainly a challenge this summer. Hot and dry! as is most of the country.
Watering doesn't really help . Keeps plants alive but not thriving...
Sedums are starting to colour already.

Hydrangea is also starting to bloom.

| love the soft pink colour looks so fresh! |
Find I am watering containers twice a day otherwise they wilt with dryness.
 |
| terra cotta coloured coleus puts on a great show especially against the beige siding |
The contrast of this yellow daylily against the red leafed japanese maple is a look I find so attractive..
 |
| even the daylilies are suffering . |
Rain keeps missing us. Thunderstorms are forecast for later today , certainly hope they come true, tho not as bad as the midwest....
Joining
Bloomin Tuesday at Jean's! want to see how others are coping with this dryness and heat.

Things look good despite the dryness.
Beautiful flowers, fantastic colours. I am greeting.
Hi Rosemary,
Your flowers are beautiful despite the hot and dry conditions. I don't think people realize all the work that goes into gardening. We are suppose to hit 90 today so lots of watering when I get home from work.
Hi Rosemary, Gosh, I hope we get some rain soon! The garden would be on life support if it was not for the fact that I have been watering it. The heat has been something else too. Your blooms are looking good though. Have a great weekend!
Hoping you get some rain soon. Lovely combo, that yellow daylily and red Japanese maple!
Hi Rosemary, isn't this weather something else? I didn't order it, that's for sure. We keep seeing the rain come and then scamper off around us which is very annoying.
I love your flowers, the ones in the pot are just beautiful. And the Japanese maple/daylily combo is stunning.
Let's hope for nice gentle rain showers and moderate temperatures!
Enjoyed your post Rosemary. Your flowers are very pretty. We're on the road traveling....and drove in rain all day long! I'm not sure when we had a real rainy day in our area! I wished i could send the rain back home.
