Tomorrow's ashes:
I meant to move the 'Hot Lips' salvia at her feet this year, but it didn't happen.
This new S. microphylla x greggii, 'Blast' might be a better companion. It looks to be similar to 'Hot Lips' in most ways but flower color.
Compare the color...
The Shasta daisies and 'Rozanne' will hold up better to the heat than 'Evelyn'. At least they look fresh now.
If only there was smell-o-net for that sweet peach fragrance.
Clematis 'Wisley' is also in full glory, but will likely continue through the heat. The glory will survive.
Why can't you be a little earlier, or a little later? Why is it always when the heat flares, or just in time for a week of rain?
My struggling 'Arctic Queen' will be of no help in reducing the heat.
You--you--diva, you.
I think "blast" will look beautiful with "hot lips" if you do get around to moving them. Great pictures. We still have a ways to go up here in Minnesota, our daffodils are barely opening up.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Enjoy the daffodils--they seem to bring springtime.
DeleteLovely summer in your garden . Evelyn is gorgeous, such a lovely colour. Salvia Blast is a perfect match. And I love Clematis Wisley, I'm going to look out for it. You can never have too many clematis.
ReplyDeleteYes you are absolutely right--we can never have too many clematis.
DeleteThe rose ´Evelyn´ is such a sweet beauty, I love the combination with the colour of the Clematis ´Wisley´.
ReplyDeleteMe, too!
DeleteBeautiful flowers in your garden dear Hoover, so sorry you are having a 'heat-wave' so soon. Evelyn is a magnificent rose and Salvia '"Blast"will be a perfect companion for her.. Salvia 'Hot Lips' is also very pretty.
