Until SF, I had no idea Cobrahead was a family-owned company. It was so nice to meet Anneliese and share in her family's generosity with garden bloggers!

Late to the party, but I'm here. Your garden appears to be lush. I like those bright blooms on that crapemyrtle. I hope the tag is correct & it overwinters for you. I have some very small ones called 'Tightwad Red'. I think the name is funny. Happy Bloom Day, Carol, and thanks for hosting us this month.~~Dee

Happy Bloom Day Carol! My verb bon is out now too... the butterlies have been loving it. Please Miss, I hope its okay but my Blooms didn't come from my garden this month :-O

Better late than never. Was going to skip it this month since we just got back from vacation but seeing other people's gardens inspired me. Thank you for doing this Carol! It is so much fun.

I didn't know 'May Night' Salvia was a rebloomer when I planted it this spring, but if it's doing it here and at your place it must be how it works.

My grandma always called her Lycoris "suprise lilies", BTW.

I'm having a great time here with the edible portion of the garden and didn't get my Bloom Day post finished until this

nice pics and nice blog. August indeed is a month of patience. We have over 100F here with loads of precipitation here.

Lagerstroemia indica has gone wild here in Lahore - Pakistan and found abundant in streets and roads. only murraya, arabian jasmine,rangoon creeper,tecoma and cassia fistula are blooming on top.

Carol, I love the verbena photo -- such a dreamy and delicate flower. And those sunflowers sure make a bold statement. Happy GBBD!

The first link was a mistake...that is from July's GBBD.

The second link I added is for August!!

Thanks, Carol:-)

2009-08-16T13:45:13.769-04:00

Carol, that first paragraph you wrote it so right. If you garden through August you must be a dedicated gardener. Of course I am writing this as I sit in my AC'd room. tee hee... My poor naked ladies are finished too. It seems like the flowers have bloomed themselves out what with all that cool rainy weather we had earlier. I just love those old fashioned plantain lilies too. They make a

I love those little sunflowers. How cute! We are struggling through the drought here in central Texas, with a few determined little flowers here and there.

Carol, I got my post in just under the wire, but then forgot to leave a comment about doing so. Our crape myrtles are just about finished blooming. Love the color of yours.

My Limelight Hydrangea is blooming beautifully, and yes, I think it may be a little earlier this year too. It's only about 3 ft tall, but growing fast.
Your little Crape Myrtle is a gorgeous color!
Those are very cute sunflowers :)
Happy Bloom Day, Carol!

2009-08-16T00:45:05.591-04:00

Your sunflower is fabulous! After 55+ days of 100+ heat, my sunflowers have all gone crispy. Normally the fields are full of tall sunflowers this time of year around here - but this year they are under a foot tall and mostly all shiveled up and dead. Sigh. I shall just covet your sunflower :)

2009-08-15T23:38:35.237-04:00

Miss Carol, it has been up to 82 degrees, maybe a smidge higher, a couple of days in a row now. This is our three weeks of summer. Those poor Musa basjoo in my front bed. There is only three weeks in the year when they will actually grow. Got plenty flowers though.

I'm late, as usual. Saturdays are for gardening chores and I almost didn't get any photos. Love the sunflowers....

2009-08-15T23:16:52.871-04:00

Hi Carol, thanks again for hosting GBD. My guess is that your little Crepe Myrtle would be surprised to visit our old 20 foot high Crepe Myrtle. It's only been knocked back to the ground once by a hard winter. And I love the display they make for August gardening. I've got another one in pot and can't decide where to put another good sized tree...

2009-08-15T23:07:37.972-04:00

It's always a pleasure to visit your blog, Carol. It was one of the very first garden blogs I found....way back when. You inform and entertain, a perfect combination. Thank you for GBBD.

The V. bonariensis has been blooming here since late June. It pops up everywhere, but I love it!
