Hazy, hot and humid describes this past week quite well. Unbearable comes to mind too. It's been in the 90s even reaching 100 degrees. I know from comments to my garden posts that many of you suffer from this sort of weather all the time so I am unlikely to get any sympathy! I am not used to it though, and neither are my plants. They are looking a little stressed right now. We also now have watering restrictions in place that are likely to become more strict in the next few weeks.
The good news is that these garden phlox (above) bloom even when not watered, phew. See the little sunroom in the background? That's where I sew!
These Black Eyed Susans are blooming in my kitchen cutting garden now. They are such a simple flower but so cheery.
I have a few new flowers blooming this week, such as my balloon flower. But mainly, the daylily show continues.
I forget the name of this pretty ruffled yellow one.
This is Little Fantastic. It's a miniature daylily and I was taken by its name. It might have something to do with the fact that I am only 5 feet tall. I love to see the words "little" and "fantastic" combined.
This is Wine Delight. It's such a pretty color.
And finally, Prissy Petticoats. The names get me every time.

Love your third photo!

ReplyDeleteI bought my mom a phlox for her birthday this year, and we're also having the 100 degree weather, so I love to see your note on it. I wonder if hers is blooming too...
ReplyDeleteHear you on the weather. Your garden still looks beautiful. On Friday, it was 105 here for most of the day-yuck. Stay Cool,

Haha...Vanessa must live near me cause it was 105 here too...hottest temp ever recorded...thank heaven for little window air conditioners!
ReplyDeleteYes, can't do to much watering on a well...so looks like the veggie garden is suffering the most...since it's in the sun and I want to stay in the shade!:)
Your flowers are looking lovely...I think I need to plant more herbs and drought tolerant plants from now on!
The garden still looks lovely in spite of the heat. We have had the opposite - cold, grey and dreary!

Talk about a room with a view! Prissy Petticoats. I'd like to figure out a quilt that would work with that name because it's such a fun one! Question: has you camera lens been fogging up because of the humidity? That's happened to a friend of mine in Minnesota. I can't even comprehend that. It gets hot here in the central valley of California but we generally get very low humidity.
