This weekend North Carolina is experiencing the same heat wave as most of the US, so our plants are bit thirstier than normal. Before this we’ve seen great weather so our flowers have been quite happy:

Portulaca – they love the sun, growing out of control this year

Society garlic – a faithful plant for us in a semi-shaded border

Crocosmia – this one grew from the seeds of a plant we purchased several years ago

Salvia- the neighborhood hummingbirds make this is a daily stop

Hopefully we’ll get some rain over the next few weeks and prevent another summer-time drought.
