Gaura
Thryallis
Firecracker fern (love how some of the pale yellow blooms have a streak of red)
Long view of the crape myrtle and the top of the vegetable garden. The paler of the pink zinnias is now 4' tall.
Cigar plant with Black Knight butterfly bush in the background.
Mexican petunias don't need much, but they are loving this rain.
And pre-rain, the Aztec Sun tithonia (Mexican sunflowers) started blooming. It's pretty, but I wish I had planted the deep orange ones.
Cosmos are made for summer. The tithonia (right) has crowded out the colorful little zinnias with its big, soft foliage.
And this morning after the rain (I've been propping them back up with a chair, and they recover nicely)
This week has been the week of datura blooms.
The datura is potted but here is masquerading as a landscape plant. All ten of these bloomed on one night and the scent from my back steps was amazing.
These little yellow rain lilies have been popping up all week.
Moving on to fruits and veggies, my nephew was excited about the watermelon harvested last Sunday. And I was, too! This one had a really lovely, complex flavor and sweetness.
I've run through all my small tomato ideas...

Really like those yellow rain lilies. Any idea as to their variety?
I think they might be called Jones' rainlilies, and they're all over my neighborhood at the moment.
So you're the one getting all the rain! Lots in bloom for you. We grow many similiar plants although I suspect what are annuals for me may be perennial for you. Happy Bloom Day!
Lovely, lovely pictures. Those rain lilies are really magical, aren't they? I see that we have several plants in common. Happy Bloom Day!
After seeing your white crepe myrtle with the firebush I want one in my garden. What a great combination.
Yay for the rain...the garden looks refreshed! I Love that you prop up the fallen plants...I do much the same thing :-)
