Brilliant Blooms













Can you name them all?

It is very hot this week.  Luckily we've had a good amount of rain so everything green is shooting up and out and blooming big instead of drooping down and shriveling parched.  Summer is in full swing here: fireflies, swimming, popsicles, and ZUCCHINI coming out our ears!  Just keep that rain coming.

The Willamette Valley is still hosting spring rain and nights even down in the 30's.

Anyway, here are some guesses:

Dahlia
Sylvia?

Jordan,
Keep the pictures coming. I was in NC last weekend...beautiful. I think #1 is called Weigelia.
Love the lambs ears and especially those hollyhocks. We had a hot, dry spring in central FL and my tomatoes are almost burned up. Eggplant and peppers are hanging in.

Oops. I was wrong. #1 is spirea
