So Back Into The House I Scurried

Hot morning, hot day, scurry out and look around, scurry back inside.  
Fescue and Abelia:

Orange rose in orange light, 'Louise Clements':

Grasshoppers usually get decapitated here.  This one got a pass for a photo.  I'll get you later, buddy:

Multiple round shapes are pleasing.  Yucca linearfolia, Agave 'Blue Glow', Dasylirion longissima:

Aloe plicatilis had a good summer:

So did Aloe vanbalenii.  This is a summer-water Aloe.  It's nearly a meter across.  Where are the offsets?  Not yet.  I love the reddish edges on the foliage:

Here's what Aloe vanbalenii looked like in March of 2011, right after I moved it to this spot.  It's recovered from the move.  Before:

 
This seedling day lily has glorious rich color.  In late spring it is a blotchy disappointment, but it obviously adores early fall, and in early fall, I adore it:

'Mrs. B. R. Cant' also has had a deep rich color these past few days.  In spring, it's nearly white:

Salvia chamaedryoides at sunrise:

Salvia 'Ultra Violet' as the sun gets a little higher:

Carex happy, Bell Peppers still happy, too:

'Secret Garden Musk Climber' will be pretty until the sun hits it and it turns into brown crumble:

Old Calandrinia flower buds are brown crumble, but have a charming shape:

The light was hitting Geranium 'Rozanne', while the Carex and Dahlia were only lightly touched.

I have plants that need to go into the ground, but it won't happen for a few more days.  The sun was hammering me hard, so back into the house I scurried.  Or ambled.  Too hot to scurry.
