blood lily Esperanza bougainvilla flanked by skyflower Lots of hibiscus 5 blooms at once! Lantana petunias Turk's cap Vinca minor
Love all your pictures. Looks like you weren't scorched like east Texas was! Thanks for sharing the vivid color of your flowers with us.
We werepretty hot this Summer, but nothing out of the ordinary. We're used to not having much water and our population is much lower than the rest of Texas, so we're not quite in the same boat as the wetter, greener parts of Texas. That said, we are 5 inches behind in rainfall this year. Ironically,last year on Sept. 10th, we had a record 8 inches of rain in one day!!
Those are wonderful blooms! I really love the Hibiscus ~ probably because I can't have them here! The Turks Cap and Esperanza I have never seen before. The Skyflower really caught my attention...what a wonderful color! Great shots
WOW!! those are so beautiful I love all your hibiscus!! I can't seem to get them to grow here in NE Indiana I never realized how well flowering plants could do in Texas Just awsome
Great colors going on there. Your Hibuscus seem to be doing really well. You Lantana is differant from what I have here also. Mine are pink & yellow. I have 4 grown from seed. I plan on bringing them in to winter over.
I've been told lantana will over-Winte in the ground here and have seen it, but mine are al in pots & I stick them in my make-shift greenhouse in Winter. They drop all their leaves & some even die. The purple ones I bought this year. I hadn't seen them either. My hibiscus come indoors - either the house, my office at work, or my wofe's science lab at school. It may be hot here in Summer, but we do have Winter in West Texas - gets down into the teens sometimes. Of course, we also have days in the 70's in Winter too - just dependson which front comes through.
The one marked Lantana is actually a Trailing Verbena. I have the same one you have and some in deep purple. Last year I had deep red ones but couldn't find them this year (sadly). It is an annual here in south central Indiana but each year the hanging baskets I've had have dropped seed into the gravel path and a few come up there. Strangely enough I can never 'find' the seed to 'harvest' from my plants. I think they must be very tiny. You have some beautiful plants there. I like the Esperanza.
Nice-looking flowers, WTD. It seems like your climate is perfect for things like Boiugainvilla and Hibiscus. You have supurb specimens.
