The west side garden strip is full of color. Butterfly bush, rock rose, salvia, Desert willow, and Texas sage. (sorry the picture is a bit blurry - it was breezy outside)

You really have a nice heat resistant garden and it shows. I like the Turk's cap monster, real sneaky.
Your xeriscape bed looks fabulous, as usual. :)
You've got lots of blooming things..and with our Texas heat too!
I am curious...you had a nasturtium. I didn't know we could grow them here. How did you do it?
Thanks,
Linda
I admire all you Austin gardeners. You are really having to do a lot to keep your gardens going through the extended heat wave, and yet you all have blooms!
Thanks for joining in for bloom day.

Pretty good for 100 degree weather
Bob,
Thanks. Yeah I was gonna take a photo of the turk's cap and then noticed that guy peering at me from behind the blooms!
Lori,
Thank you ;)
Meadowview thymes,
I planted the nasturtiums where they would get afternoon shade and as a bonus the cantaloupe leaves shaded them even further and they seemed to really like that!
Carol,
Yep,
It has been an oven all summer - I just water the backyard once in a while, but the front must fend for itself. This is where the native plants show how fabulous they are!
Ralph,
Thanks!,
The native plants can really take the heat!
