Storms and a Few Flowers at the End of June

Big storms rolled through the area yesterday bringing much needed rain after a prolonged period of dry. I was really happy, as I have always felt that no amount of hosing will ever replace good ole Ma Nature letting loose a deluge on the garden.

The clouds were cool....

The lightening bolts striking into the ocean, angrily breaking the heat wave we have been sweltering under.

Meanwhile, the flowers are doing the end of June things...the Black & Blue Salvia is waiting for the hummers....

The Hibiscus is outrageous, despite the Japanese Beetles having a feast on the leaves...

The riot area of the garden...disorderly, floppy, blooming every which way....I love it....

                                                 Tomorrow is July 1...how the heck did that happen...
