June Blooms

Isn’t summer flying by? I want it to slow down! We were so hot and dry during the month of May. June has been hot also, humid and wet, especially for the past two weeks. We’ve had hot sunny days and then torrential rains and storms most every afternoon lately. All the rain has resulted in jungle-growth throughout my yard, and lots of staking and tying (oh, how I hate doing that!). Here are just a few of the many plants and flowers blooming in my gardens now.
