Late Summer Blooms

Many of my beautiful summer blooms have either played out or on the brink of seasonal extinction. However, several of them are still thriving despite the scorching outdoor temperatures we've had the past few weeks. The Monarda, Shrimp Plant, Lantana, Verbena, Tecoma, Bougainvillea, a few Zinnias and the Bat-Face Cuphea are some of the blooms that remain. How fortunate for the hummingbirds because they enjoy most of these...
