Blooming Tuesday - Mid August, 2011

Its Blooming Tuesday at Mrs. Green Thumb Jean's blog.We are creeping toward the end of an extremely hot and dry summer in Eastern North Carolina. We have watered our plants almost every single day!

Here are a few that are still looking pretty good.

A close up of a red Petunia right after being watered.



The Zinnias are still blooming, but I do need to do some serious dead heading!



Lavender Petunias:



Sweet Williams:



Yellow Four O'clocks:



A different view of the Zinnias:



Crinum Lillies:



This lime green Coleus has grown to be a HUGE plant!:



I love how these Gerbera Daisies mimic the ones on the flower pot:



The back door of a birdhouse:



I put these two pictures at the bottom so as to not freak you out too much!

I love this post! Even the scary spiders at the end. I think my favorite is the zinnias with the house in the background, but it's a toss up. They are all beautiful!

We had a nice brief cool down this morning in North Florida. Your flowers look good, love the gerbera in the gerbera container. Those spiders are all over here too.

Debbie, Your annuals are faithfully providing color in your August garden. Spiders are good, as long as they stay outside! Enjoyed my visit to your pretty garden today.
xo, Beth
