| a drunken buttterfly dancing away the summer day. The heat has let up a bit and the rains have helped tremendously to create jungle growth. I forgot how simple zinnias are, and how much they attract butterflies, I have never seen so many of them. The bright colors of the flowers define the essence of summer. |

| Bright lemon yellow impatiens "Fusion Yellow". I have not seen too many yellow impatiens, especially of this depth of color. They make a great underplanting to many tropicals and summer plants. |

| The beautiful fragrant blooms of 'X amarcrinum' , a cross between an amaryllis and a crinum lily, hardy to zone 6 or so. I 1st saw these a few years ago in a friends garden and was surprised how hardy and prolific they are. He had them in bloom in June and to my surprise I went back n early November and they still had bloom stalks with flowers opening! As the days begin to shorten a bit, the tropicals seem to grow even faster and bigger. I love this time of year. |
