Sharing Nature's Garden: Bloom day...

They are Blackfoot Daisies, native to Texas and they love the hot sun and dry summers we have here.

And they aren't picky about their soil, either. They grow in rocks and crevices and my beds!

They are perennials for the most part -- I only lost a few from last year. And the new ones I put in this Spring are spreading like wildfire.

These are the newest bloomers almost in the garden -- they are Totally Tempted Cuphea -- and I've never seen any like this. Instead of the traditional purple and red little bat-like faced blooms, they are all hot pink. Don't even look like bat faces at all without the bi-color. But they have a profusion of blooms and will love the hot spot I want to plant them in.
