Oh my gosh. I’m just in from being in the garden for about an hour. I went outside to take some photos of flowers that have already been blooming for a week or two. You know how it is, if you don’t get the photos while they are blooming they’re gone! I already missed a few flowers that don’t re-bloom due to my lack of being in the garden much this year.
It is soooooooo hot outside! It’s apparently only 30 Celsius, but as always it’s pretty humid here and when you factor in the humidity it’s 39 c! That’s 102.2 F! I also happen to have a fever, as usual, so I’m sure my body wasn’t handling the heat and humidity as well as it should have.
When I came in I was literally soaked as if I’d been out there in the rain. Yuck. You can bet I hopped into the shower pretty quickly. I still feel overheated though.
I’m so thankful that we have air-conditioning. I know that I’ve said we have a fairly green lifestyle, but when it gets this hot here in the summer I don’t think I can easily give up my air conditioning. Hopefully all the rest of the stuff we do makes up for it.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that some more photos will be on their way shortly.
Hey let me ask you a question.
Do you like it when I post facts about the plants I photograph such as their hardiness, bloom times, whether they are drought tolerant and or like shade or sunlight?
I figure it helps those that are just getting started gardening. Plus if you haven’t tried growing a particular plant at least you’d know by reading the information that I post about each plant I photograph if it would do well in your area.
I do come to your blog to learn about different plants and herbs. Do keep posting good information.
I always love info about plants & what people are doing to better their garden. A good gardener is always learning. 🙂
I like the fact that you post extra information. Maybe you can include a little more in future posts, like the type of climate best suited for the plant. So many nurseries out here sell plants that will not live in Las Vegas. Flower wise you’re best bet here are roses. Usually we have a good batch every year in the front yard.
