First Frost in bloom, & Tattoo.

Afterglow, Unruly Child with Luna Moth, Beyond Glory, and pot of Electrocution near Spartacus.

Heat Wave (first year), Solar Flare near sunset, Unforgettable among companions, and Monkey Business.

Your hostas look amazing given all this heat and lack of rain we are experiencing. You must be watering copiously to have them looking so good.I am happy you were able to go inside in the cool house to post!

Flowers galore.
Ben Vernooji. The Amazon guy dropped a large, heavy box on the other side of this plant. Oh well. This side still looks good.

Cyclamen hederfolium flower appeared today with Lady in Red fern in background.

First Frost in full flower. :)

Halcyon in flower, grown in part sun. Too blue!

Not all that flowers is a hosta.
Abiqua Drinking Gourd grown in part sun with Annabelle hydrangea.

Luna hisbiscus moscheutos.

Hardy begonia Pink Teardrops from below.

Bog sage (Salvia uliginosa) with true blue flowers.

Very pretty pictures. Don't you just love delivery people who don't watch where they throw packages? I love Monkey Business, I have one that's 4-5 years old and is finally growing well.

Hostas are thirsty in 100 degree weather.

I have a sitting area of my garden which I've planted with fragrant hostas of the Fragrant Bouquet lineage. They bloom together. The experience is lovely enough to draw me out of the air-conditioning on these hot summer days.
Fragrant Bouquet gets prettier every year.

Stained Glass is about to bloom.

Frosty Morn keeps it blooms low.

Worldly Treasure is now dark green.

I feel like every impulse buy for the garden over the past 4 years has paid off this year.
Hardy hibiscus Super Rose, bought last autumn from Hallson's on their final season.

I am sitting on the stumps next to 5 fragrant hostas while Spartacus stands guard.

Dark Star in foreground, with Paul's Glory and ostrich fern in/near the sunlight.

Pineapple Upside Down Cake grown in baking hot part-sun. It is the size of Curly Fries under the stressful conditions.

Toad lilies are starting to bloom.

Queen Josephine thrives and blooms in spite of her nearly full sun location.

Blue Tooth is sending up its first blooms. Grown in part-shade to retain color.

Great Expectations, grown at the base of a maple tree and thriving against all odds. Somehow, it manages to be gorgeous despite hail damage, heat waves, and drought. This hosta seems like my 2020 mascot.

Wow your toad lilies bloom early--where are you located? Mine don't bloom until late August or early September.

Miles,

USA 7B, central North Carolina. My garden is a bit weird. The growing season starts early and runs late. Everything tries to bloom early and at the same time. I have hostas of all lineages blooming at the same time, it seems.

The heat continues. Stay cool.

Pineapple Upside Down Cake with 5 flower stalks

June Spirit grown in too much sun, yet flowers abundantly.

Mojito in flower.

We have a reprieve from the heat and drought now.

Inniswood, bought on a lark from Hallson's 2 years ago. I am really starting to like this one.

Passiflora caerulea with several bees, as well a Thomcord grape vine.

Waterslide. So far, of the Neptune, Restless Sea, and Cutting Edge collection, this is the best one. I They are all good. I think it will be smaller than its cousins.

Undertheoaks

On a good note, the pandemic has turned my younger son into a hosta aficionado.
Heat Wave is gorgeous. First year. It's my favorite. I have a lot of favorites...

Royal Charmer, first year. :)

Sorry, Hosta Peeps, but I cannot get enough of this Pineapple Upside Down Cake in bloom. It is so darn cute.

Stained Glass is in bloom. I grow SG next to Guacamole, Secret Love, Fragrant Bouquet, Royal Standard and Blue Perfection. It is heavenly there at this time of year.

utog..I'm enjoying your virtual garden tour!..everything looks so nice..I'd love to get a Waterslide..Pineapple Upside Down Cake has done well for me too..Passiflora caerulea is beautiful and exotic..love the fern planter displayed on a stump..the day was off to a great start but we had a downpour and I had to come in..🙁

Very nice tour Imhave not had a lot of luck with a Pineapple Upside Down Cake . It was frying in the sun so I put it in much more shade but then tree roots were a problem. inshould probably move it again or put it in a pot

Rainbow's End, the 2021 HOTY. It is a great plant.

Dinner Mint with flowers

Lemontini with flowers

Mystic Star. I really do like this plant, which surprises me. I am not usually a fan of blues because they quickly become greens.

July 31, 2020 part 2
The backyard Avocado, another great plant for those who like to "go big".

Royal Wedding is a cheerful, strong bloomer.

Sweetness with its first flower.

Mango Salsa after I finally weeded around it.

Thanks for sharing my garden with me this July.
