Fun in the summer sun. That’s what the Summer Vi

Fun in the summer sun. That’s what the Summer Vibes plant series from @costafarms is all about. As promised in my last post about these tropical beauties, I ran over to my daughter’s house to take their picture. Like the supermodels they are, I think these heat-loving plants deserve the pink house star treatment.

One thing I’ve been really surprised by the Summer Vibes plants is how well they’re still doing in their smaller containers. As you know, I’m a big fan of larger pots in my Oklahoma garden because of our extremely hot summers. However, with daily watering, these hot-weather-loving tropical plants are still performing well. Oklahoma is in for a heat wave this week so I may move them into larger containers very soon.

Also, I have them on the north side of my house when they aren’t visiting my daughter to give them some respite from our hot afternoon sun.

You can find the Summer Vibes Plant Series at your local @loweshomeimprovement now in the nursery section. They are such fun.

Pretty!

On rebloom these daylilies are just so pretty!

‘Father James Foster,’ ‘Red O’Kelly’s Fate’ and ‘Big Bird.’

You can’t help but love them. I sure do.

Let’s try this again. I can’t believe it’s July, and the grass is still green. So much rain this year.

A morning garden walk to my cutting garden. I don’t cut the flowers very often. I like leaving them for the pollinators.

I think having butterflies and bees in my garden is my favorite thing.

What about you? Who do you garden for?

My Oklahoma garden after yesterday’s showers. Today we’re focusing on my cut flower garden which I rarely cut.

Ha!

We got almost half an inch of rain yesterday so that gives you some perspective on what’s in the garden and how it just kind of refreshed everything. It wasn’t one of those hard blinding rains like we’ve had all Spring that have been so hard on the garden. Instead, it was mostly a gentle shower.

Let the summer flowers begin!

The daylilies are nearly finished with ‘Red O’Kelley’s Fate’ (Niswonger 2012).

Although Rudbeckia a ‘Goldsturm’ is a complete thug in my garden, I appreciate it this time of year because it stands up to the full sun and our summer heat.

Goodbye daylilies. Hello summer flowers!

Lilium ‘Scheherazade’ is beginning to flower.

Lilium ‘Scheherazade’ is beginning to flower. This time of year she scents the entire garden with her beautiful fragrance. This is an orienpet lily. Easy to grow. So far, we don’t have lily beetles in Oklahoma. Thank goodness!

When this flower blooms I always think about the heroine of the same name in 1,001 Arabian Nights, which was one of my favorite books as a child. I’ve always seen Scheherazade as a true female hero because she used her wits to not only stay alive, but also to prosper. She reminds me of Queen Esther in the Bible.

Both strong and resourceful women.

When I’m out gardening I’m not just thinking about weeding.
