Thankfully, we at least have had sufficient rain this year, but one never knows what to expect next, except that it will probably be hot!

We've had some nice weather too. Up and down though. We're going back into triple digits for the weekend. Then back down again. I gave up on trying to follow any type of gardening rule to plant this at this time or plant that... things just grow whenever they feel like it in my climate and the only thing I have to worry about are these days when it gets too hot! I am looking forward to Fall though. Those orange Cosmos would be perfect for my front porch mixed with the Pumpkins I'm going to get as soon as it cools down. :)Danielle Bedics-Arizala, The Magic Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12048772830772986891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-73219897963902664292015-09-22T22:36:15.326-05:002015-09-22T22:36:15.326-05:00Cosmos is definitely a favorite for the butterfly ...Cosmos is definitely a favorite for the butterfly garden.

But I do recognize blue plumbago, which I sure wish I could grow. Your lantana looks beautiful; mine is just now taking off, a little too late in the season here. The same with pineapple sage--about the time it blooms for me, it gets zapped by the frost.
