Lantana-love it

Yes, more lantana

Last of the phlox

More to come if these post.

Mums so tall they fell over.

Pink lantana

Coleus-love the new colors

Hibiscus mutabilis-we call it Confederate Rose

Love the zinnias

Name eludes me- somebody help! Came back from dropped seed of last year’s hanging basket.

That should read “light” frosts!!! Two grandchildren hopping on me while I am trying to do this!!

Spacecoast The Shredder-last bloom open yesterday.

Last bloom on old unknown garden rose

Your blooms are all so pretty. Nice to have a late daylily bloom; Love your gomphrena too. That is a favorite of mine.

Your lantana varieties are fabulous. They do so well in the heat. I like your Confederate rose. My mums were so tall they fell over too in the past two rains. The zinnias and coleus are pretty too. And even a daylily still blooming! We had a patchy light frost here this morning, but it must have skipped over my yard since the sage, marigolds and mums are still looking good.

Yep, Torenia on the last one. Interesting it reseeded for you.....Everything looks good in your garden. Nice to not have to deal with all the heat. It was hot here right up until a couple weeks ago. I didn't even have a chance to pot up more then one pansy.....I've never seen Hibiscus Mutabilis around here for sale or in anyone's garden although it's supposed to be a southern plant. It's always interested me and I like the looks of your flower............Maryl

Yes, thanks, Maryl and flowergirl, it is Torenia. It was always on the tip of my brain but all I could pull up were names of Italian food dishes! No excuses!! And Maryl, I was surprised about the reseeding as well. I have always had them in hanging baskets. I would not have noticed this if it had not been blooming when very small. And I am surprised you have not seen the hibiscus either. You know it grows huge, above rooftops, and can be rooted easily by cutting the stalks into lengths and putting them in water indoors during winter. I have given away hundreds of “sticks” over the years!!

Debra, I do love lantana for its heat hardiness. This year I had probably 12 different varieties-some will return-some will not. That daylily was a bonus plant a couple of years ago-not a favorite-so I let it bloom out. Stalk was actually lying on the ground!!

That first lantana especially is gorgeous! We used to have lantana in the yard when I was growing up. It was perennial there, and would make big bushes.
