Spider Flower (Cleome)

Cleome is one of my favorite annuals, it is one of the flowers I remember from my childhood, an older neighbor lady had spider flowers planted in her garden, they really caught my attention. I plant them every year some years they reseed themselves, some years they don't.

Digital Scrapbooking

Since it is too hot to stay outside for long, I have been digital scrapbooking.

I worked outside this AM for about 2-3 hours, it was hot, hot, hot. I fertilized my roses for the last time this summer, where has the summer gone? Except for the heat and humidity it seems hard to believe it is mid August already.

Interesting Sedum

I love sedums, Autum Joy being one of my favorite plants, the butterflies and bees love it as much as I do. I have several other sedums, one that I planted last year, I cannot remember for sure which one it is but I think it is SEDUM spectabile Matrona : STONECROP. The leaves and flower buds are the blackest I have ever seen in a plant before.

Bright Sunshiny Day

This has been a long spell of heat and humidity. I am ready for it to end now :).

Roses, Roses, Roses

My rose bed is beautiful right now.

Hibiscus in Bloom

One thing about Hibiscus is they are not shy about blooming, the blooms are as a big as a dinner plate.

Where Flowers Bloom

I was playing around in Paint Shop Pro again.
