Indian mallow (cosmos and standing cypress beneath)
Trumpet vine is a beast, a beautiful beast that lends a lushness to the backyard.
It also threatens to shade out the other plants. I could easily prune an armload of this vine a week right now.
I finally have fireworks gomphrena! Lemongrass and mint in the background.
Orange cosmos are popping up everywhere, but I love them next to the bronze fennel. Garden muse Lena lurking behind.
Late larkspur coming up at random.
Milkweed
Curb strip dependables: blackfoot daisy and globe mallow
Mexican petunia volunteers (tropicana canna foliage in the middle)
Cigar plant
Beach vitex
White Rose of Sharon in my neighbor's yard provides a starry sky effect every morning and evening.
I inherited this bouquet on my sister's way out of town...so nice.
Hope everyone has a lovely, bloom-filled weekend!

Purple, orange and white -- my fav combo with a little chartreuse and pale yellow thrown in.
Your Lena, my Ike, garden helpers.
I think I might find some great ideas in your blog. Some of my best plants came from Texas seeds: Pride of Barbados, Esperanza and Duranta. Wait, I think I bought that Duranta but I got the idea from Texas.
Happy Bloom Day.
Chartreuse! That's exactly the color I need to throw in the mix (I'm also a fan). Pride of Barbados is also one of my faves.
