You can't beat Zinnias for mid summer in warm areas. pretty.....Your daylilies are pretty too, but no surprise Wonder of It All and China Bride take the first two spots in my heart. What nice daylilies they are......Maryl

Jean - I know you love the round ones, so GBG would be your kind of daylily. Dean and Celeste - I planted BILL NORRIS several years ago in a drought, and it's never really impressed me before. But the clump is so large and the scapes so tall this time, I think it will have plenty of stage presence next to my little red barn. Kay - You are so sweet to pick the seedling as your favorite, and it's not even looking as white as last year. Dust Be Diamonds X Tuxedo Junction was a good cross for me. It gave me one extra early near white and one that keeps blooming very late in the season. The third near white sib blooms in the middle, but it has a much smaller bloom and doesn't want to multiply.

Oh my goodness, that MANDEVILLA really is going all the way up the post. that thing is gorgeous! How long did it take to get to the top? it sure is green and the flowers just add to the beauty. Love the zinnia too. My mom had tons of them in the yard when I was growing up. I am a fan of roses. The peace rose looks like it smells great. Maybe King George is Scottish with his pleated skirt. All of the lillies are very pretty. I can't decide which is my fav.

Great photos, and I appreciate your remarks on their growth. The poly blooms are impressive. I may have to try Linda Sierra, I like the different look of it. As far as Incendiary, I have never seen the pattern here, maybe the beginnings of a pattern on a hot day. Mine gets 28 to 30" tall, certainly no where near 36". I have never counted the buds, but I am happy with its bloom. It has been blooming here for 5 weeks, not done yet but it will be within the week. I would live to see the pattern on it, but I still like the blooms, and it performs above average here so it stays.

I like orange and, because of your pictures over the past couple of years, Mighty Chestnut is on my list. Will need to see it in person in order to know whether I will like it's unusual shadings or not............I'm with you on Loving Up A Storm. It is not my type either.............Maryl

The Wonder of It All looks really fresh. Seems like the heat would have wilted it. I love the zinnias. My mom had a bunch of them when I was growing up. They were in front of our porch and they grew tall. You have a lot of day lilies blooming now. Ann

Thank you all for looking and commenting on the blooms. I had no intentions of taking pictures yesterday, as no new blooms to show, but all of these looked so niceI decided to go ahead and take pictures of them.I don't think it ever gets too hot of wonder of it all or China bride either.They don't seem to care what the weather is like as long as they get a drink when needed.and the zinnias are the same way,they laugh at the heat.

Wonder of It All and China Bride are my favorites. I like the soft coloring of CB. I have Beautiful Edging but she's not open yet. Marg

Jean, your plants look fabulous after a hot day. Do they get some shade? And I love the zinnias. They look so cheery.

Wonder of It All (reblooming, hooray!) and the zinnias are my favorites. Wonder of It All has such heavy substance that no amount of heat you throw at it will wilt it. It's pretty, but it's tough too. I just wish all of my blooms on it would open all the time.

Love the frilly edges on WONDER OF IT ALL, and the baby pink of CHINA BRIDE! OKTOBERFEST is great for a hot summer's day....such a scorching orange! And CONDILLA is just so bright and sunny!
