Just a few shots...blooms hiding from the heat  ;D




What happens when they don't hide...Pink Ribbon and ArcEnCeil

We're suppose to be much cooler for the next few days.  So far today it is only 78*  o(:-) I'm really liking it.

Hope TX gets some much need rain & a break from the 100 degree temps.  Too bad about your hardy blooms getting so crispy.

There is never enough room for all of the water lilies that I want ;-)

My Fireball bloom went crispy on me the other day too. We only had upper 90s that day...something like 96F.  It was a perfect bloom in the morning and by afternoon it was crispy.  I've only ever seen that twice before (on Mayla & Fireball), but the blooms were on just planted hardies, so I figured that it was not yet use to the heat.  I don't think I've seen any tropical lily blooms do that, yet...
My next female cat will be called "Whata Lily"!
