Heat Lovin' Plants



This zinnia plant must love this spot by the back porch door.
What a lovely greeting as you step into the garden.




Zinnias keep getting bushier as the summer goes on.




Native salvia seems to thrive when the temps climb high!






These portulacas will grow just about anywhere!





The fronds on this Sago Palm are ready to unfurl.



Wonderful tendril-like leaves
appear from seemingly nowhere.



A mainstay in our summer garden.



Y'all come back now, ya hear?

  3. I love the pink zinnia! So pretty! I don't plant annuals...think I will every year and never get around to it. I do love zinnias, though...must make the effort next year! Thanks for sharing your garden pictures. ~~Rhonda
