Everything is burning up...only bloomers producing right now are Lantana (poorly) the great Mexican Petunias (profusely) and old, hardy stand-bys,
rose of Sharon. The weather forecasters keep promising rain and we haven't had a drop in over a month. Waaahhhhh!!! As for cool nights, I think 80 has been our low. lol!
Butterflies love Coneflowers. They have been very active this year and the Monarchs are finally starting to show up. They are just so flightly right now, I can't snag any pictures. Here's one from earlier this summer of a lovely Tiger Swallowtail, a first timer for me.
