    What a difference a good rain can make! I didn't post any garden pictures last week because my gardens were on deaths doorstep due to drought. After yesterdays rain it's made a comeback!

    Oh, that rainbow is lovely! I recognize Mirabilis, Agastache, Physalis and a day lily, I think, but what are the other two?

    The yellow one is Helianthus Multiflorus and the orange one is a wild Hawkweed.
    The yellow lily is Stella d'Oro.

    Ahh, :-D your garden ALWAYS knocks my socks off Netty!
    Beautiful combinations of plants . . .
    I'm so glad that the rain came in time to perk it all back up so nicely.

    The rainbow photo is truly extraordinary.

    Loverly garden and flowers, as always. That mirabilis is beautiful, I don't have it but maybe I should, the colors are so clear and brilliant.
    ...and the picture of the rainbow...is your garden the pot of gold at the end of it?
