Happy 4th, Diana! Funny your orchid tree is blooming. I have a few wayward blooms too. An abelia that has struggled since I planted it last spring is blooming and a potted gardenia bloomed last week. Everything is loving this little break in the weather!
Happy 4th to you. Great pic of the - is it Indigo Spires or Mystic Spires? Blues just never seem to show well in photos for me. And Salvia greggii is my favorite! Just recently found your blog and I'm enjoying it.
Cat - My blooms are diminishing, too, but I still have quite a few. I'm spending a lot of time now deadheading and pruning, which I don't normally do that much of. I suspect it's the drought making them stop; hoping that helps get a new flush of blooms.
Toni - That is Mystic Spires in the photo. I don't always get the blues correct either - you have to adjust the white balance on your camera to get it right. Glad to have you visiting my blog.
Katina - That's thanks to a lot of hand-watering eating up my days. My patience for that is gonna run out soon so it had better rain!

Welcome
Thanks for visiting my blog
I'm glad you've found my garden journal. Perhaps the only thing greater than the satisfaction of nurturing a seed to a seedling to a blooming or producing plant is the joy of sharing nature's bounty with others. Whether I'm peddling garden tomatoes we can't possibly eat or sharing stories about why the verbena isn't doing well, my garden connects me. It connects me to the earth, to our wildlife friends, to fellow gardeners, and, to myself. So, welcome. I hope you'll feel connected here.
