July flowers in Houston are something else entirely. Florid. Baroque. Luscious. Extravagant. Vivid. It's a good thing there are a few white things blooming or we'd all go mad, just in time for the dog days of summer.
Without further ado, here's tropical July.

aloha,
ReplyDeletei love your photos of your beautiful flowers especially that beautiful crinum
thanks for sharing your blooms today.
Those are some hot photos - great summer colors.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of purslane are those? They look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure, really. Just old-fashioned moss rose. The fuchsia one may be "Rio Rose" but I can't be positive. Around here, they reseed freely and return year after year and it's hard to remember what they were! Glad you like them!
