It rained every day for a week here. In July. In Texas. Some of you may not realize how unusual that is, so I'll tell you...
unbelievably.
I took these photos a couple of days ago, while everything still looked green and perky and happy from all the rain. It won't be long till they look as if they're afraid I'm never going to bring the garden hose around and give them a drink. Of course, I
will give them a drink each evening, but they'll still be a tiny bit afraid I'll forget.
I've done several posts on flowers and plants that look good in a modern setting. These are some of my favorites.

Cactus outside my front door
(And see how well the honeysuckle is covering the trellis?) |
