Some Keep Hanging On

15 years ago

While the heat hangs on (well maybe a couple of degrees cooler with a heat index of only 100), so do some hems.

JEDI TEQUILA SUNRISE began blooming the third week of June

ZELLA VIRGINIA begins later and stays for the credits

STONE BEACON is a later Stamile yellow. Not sure what I think of this one. The plant is really big. Certainly aptly named.

MARY FRANCIS RAGAIN just recently started.

This is CELERY PLATE if you like a touch of green.

PAT GARRITY is giving a little rebloom, which is good, because he was stingy on the initial bloom.

What does like the heat?

Well, these hibiscus don't seem to mind.

Or banana Red Jade

Or canna Thai Sunray

Or this kettle of sun coleus

Or even this planter

Those red hibiscus are really pretty. I have to go with the first three daylily blooms. Any of them could be todays favorite.

The pics were taken at 11 a.m. This is how some look at 5 p.m. after mostly sunny skies.

ZELLA VIRGINIA looks great.

STONE BEACON fine

Rebloom on NOBEL is whiter than morning

BLIZZARD BAY also took the heat.

Wow, They are all gorgeous, and I love them Red Hibiscus..I sure can not pick out any for a favorite since I think all of them are beautiful,especially the white ones.

Nobel is my pick of the daylilies (love those whites), and the hibiscus is a beautiful color. I used to grow hibiscus until they drew every Japanese beetle in the state to my garden, so I had to give up on them.

I really like the look of Stone Beacon and it looks like it takes the heat really well.

I picked Stone Beacon from the morning pics, and then turned out it looks great in the evening, definitely favorite! I like the banana too :)

So far, the beetles haven't been a problem with the hibiscus; at least, not as they are with the roses and canna. A little Sevin spray is necessary. (Unfortunately, it is difficult to spray rose blossoms.)
