Hot days

 Peace roses on one of the hottest days. This hot spell has made them bloom again, and again.

They  are huge this year...big as dinner plates, some of them.....

 Back porch in early morning sun. Have had to pull lots of scraggly vines from some of the pots.  The begonias are beautiful, the fuschias are great, but messy. Next year, just begonias........

 Japanese Anenome. I have one plant, that never seems to spread, even though it's supposed to be invasive. Just stands straight up and blooms.

And then there's Cordelia. Her favourite thing to do on these hot days is to sleep under the bench and drink out of the pitcher. She has the right idea....
