In years when the weather is not too terribly hot & dry, this daylily can have 4 or 5 bloom cycles. But it dwindled terribly in summer 2011. I don't want to lose it! <br /><br />Annie Annie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-60748536056142049692013-07-13T16:53:46.250-05:002013-07-13T16:53:46.250-05:00It is amazing to me that anything survives .

I would love them to last all summer. As you plumbago loves the heat and I love it.Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-41969727565591005802013-07-04T18:05:03.498-05:002013-07-04T18:05:03.498-05:00Hi Amy,

You see it in Mediterranean gardens, so I think the exposure is the difference. <br />The Angelonia surprised me, and when a branch was accidentally cracked off & brought inside, the flowers stayed fresh in a vase for a long time. <br /><br />I love the Amarcrinum! It has a delicate scent that teases at my memory - some kind of old-fashioned soap or cologne, maybe? But they are definitely a Slow Gardening plant. I bought the bulbs a dozen years ago & had them in a pot for ages before planting them near the back wall around 2007. I can usually count on one flower stalk every year but right now there are TWO stalks on one of the plants... yay! <br /><br />Annie Annie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-66763808937321021032013-06-30T07:03:42.315-05:002013-06-30T07:03:42.315-05:00Somehow I expect anything the color of crocosmia t...Somehow I expect anything the color of crocosmia to survive our heat, but glad to see the pastel shades of amarcrinum and the delicate looking Angelonia are also survivors (first time I've heard of either, so they're going on my list). The past week was pretty brutal, but thank goodness for a little rain this morning.Amy Farrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17308018161028455017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-40992330724990877882013-06-29T23:41:48.183-05:002013-06-29T23:41:48.183-05:00Thanks Kim & Lisa!

Even the native plants are unhappy up there today. <br /><br />Seventy for a high in June? That doesn't sound right either... although I do remember wearing jackets to see fireworks up north. I hope you have some fun on the Fourth! <br /><br />Annie <br /><br />Annie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-18893284935946691862013-06-29T21:57:19.569-05:002013-06-29T21:57:19.569-05:00107?!?!
