Being new to the garden blogging world I didn't realize there was a tradition of posting pictures of blooms on the 15th. Being in the desert in August really made me jealous. Not much is blooming. But here's what I have:
Bouganvillea, always a sure thing.
Aloe from a mother's day flower arrangement.
Lantana, but sure of the variety, but it's a big, happy, healthy plant.
Lantana, a different variety. A little smaller, not as robust, but doing well. Lantana and Bouganvillea are pretty reliable here for blooming.
This is a red verbena, barely hanging on through the heat, the only beautiful bloom in this hanging pot.
Russelia equisetiformis, firecracker plant. I just recently planted this where a red yucca used to be.
Now on to the blooms I'm excited about! My kitchen garden.
This little flower, with a bee, grows into this....
Watermelon, beach ball sized!
My mint in the herb garden is blooming.
Even though the sweet peppers are tiny, and need some supplemental calcium, they are still flowering and growing.
The 3 sisters garden is doing well. The tassel on the corn is a male flower technically, anthers.
Just this morning the squash flowered for the first time!
Happy belated bloom day.
