    Thank goodness for plants that can survive the heat and add a little color to our gardens. In some places this year, that hasn't been easy.

    Oh how I wish I just a little color....anything....in my gardens. I have a couple plants that are barely hanging on and no sign of my fall bloomers even coming up yet. For 50 or more days, we've been in the 100's and it's taken everything I had!!

    Thanks for sharing your colors with us. It gives me hope!!

    Seems like summer barely got here in the Pacific NW, so I'm really can't relate being ready for fall.But I must agree the color in foliage can be so beautiful all by itself! Thanks for hosting!
