A favorite of mine, because it's a very reliable bloomer, and it blooms in the hottest part of the summer. The pics were sort of spur-of-the-moment in the back yard, so I apologize for the cluttered appearance.

Closeup - the flowers are 1.5 - 2 inches across.

There must be other nice summer bloomers out there that we all would like to see! (Or winter bloomers if you're in the southern hemisphere)
