Not sure how much longer the petunias will last in this 114 degree heat. The alyssum will be pulled out when the petunias wilt. The coreopsis may last another couple weeks.
The blue lobelia plants are still living in one area of my garden. Purple trailing lantana is much darker than it's showing in the photo and it will look a little ragged with a few more days of this hot weather. It will perk right up in early fall, though.
The Orange Jubilee --Tecoma stans hybrid--had orange flowers when I planted it about three months ago. All the flowers turned yellow this past week. Never heard of this happening. Will wait and see what will take place next!!
This Cascalote is planted in full west sun. So far it's doing great. I need this one to grow fast as I need the shade for all the cactus in the yard.
Cherry red lantana -The first time I have had luck with this color lantana. Yellow lantana grows the best in this area. This one is planted in the full west sun.

Love that red lantana!
These photos are lovely. I'm always so amazed by people who actually know the names of the plants they have in their yards. I am such an air-head with names!!! I designate a plant by saying "you know...that little blue flowery thing in the corner...". Ugh!
So...did you get inspired the other day to rekindle your hobby? ;o)
OMG...I must have some red lantana! That is awesome. I have white and multi, but red is stunning! Sorry for your high temps there! Oh yeah...what about your crafting inspirations??? Any resurge yet???
Julie-Well-Claude made me an offer I can't refuse- I did pick out a gourd to clean-That is a BIG step for me!!!!
Suzanne- I'm not so good with names- I have to look up the names over and over again!
