Hope it was good!

I love wildflowers. I am still discovering blooms I have never seen before here at my place after nearly twenty years. I don't know any of the names but am always pleasantly surprised.

I wouldn't call it over reacting but reading between the lines for clues if it would work for me so just ignore me. It is a matter of habit. I am on baking caliche and highly pourous limestone on top of a ridge. It is a very different soil condition from Tr2. Oklahoma summer breaks a full month before mine and starts a bit later, (not much). I have a tendency to think we are similar but then I see that OKC is over 10F cooler than me today. Due to a shrinking water level in my tanks, I can't water. so I tend to be very cautious about my plant picks. This linked source of plants for hot dry conditions, is based on plants that can do 90F for 2 months. This year we have had above 90 for almost 6 months and .3 of an inch of water in the last 4 months. We are 90 today and 95 tomorrow and the day after. The AC is running . The source was written in Lancaster Pennsylvania which makes me leery (where I needed sweaters in June during last summer visit).

Oh great! It's the first native plant we've found in the strip of woods bordering our yard. There's loads of japanese honeysuckle, bush honeysuckle (my goodness they get huge), multiflora rose and callery pear.
