Crape Myrtle

Wow… for something that I wanted to try to do weekly, I sure haven’t kept up with this very well the past couple of weeks.

A tour of the garden shows a lot of really exhausted plants.  A lot of them look somewhat sunburned – including my aloe vera.

There are some things still blooming that honestly have no business blooming right now – like the snap dragons.  Crazy flowers!

So here is the list…

• Roses
• Dahlburg Daisy
• Trailing purple verbena (slow, but still going)
• Elderberry (the last few blooms?)
• Crape Myrtle
• Marigolds
• Poke Salad
• Texas Star Hibiscus
• Scarlet Sage
• Tropical Blood Weed
• Tomato
• Peppers
• Pentas
• Basil (need to dead head that one)
• impatiens
• Coral Honeysuckle
• Jasmine
• Petunia
• Calibrochoa
• Cosmos
