I took a few picture in the rain on my way to work Monday I love wet blooms.
My red Slavia are pretty (even if they do smell like cat pee)
Mandavilla
Lilac Lantana
Rose of Sharon
Passion Flower
(still blooming their heads off)
I took these Sunday evening
Datura
Grass all through it
Crepe Mertle is trying to bloom finally it has been to dry and hot. I took these tonight.
The tallest Kolachie I have ever seen.(I moved it to shade dooley and it seems to be growing to the sun  )
One of my bug catchers
My friend gave me one of these .Somekind of cactus .I think it like dry weather for sure.Now to try to get it in a larger pot a several other pots. She gave me the plant growing with it and I do not know nothing about it but it likes dry weather too as it was just a tiny plant hanging onto the root of the other.
I have to lighten and crop the picture so the hitch hiker will show up good.
Then my balloon flower is trying to have a last hoorah.
I hope you don't mind seeing more pictures of some of thre rebloomers. The rain has give some of them a second breath and it is to rain clear through till next week maybe more days then.

I don't mind seeing photos period.  Your blooms are wonderful, wet or dry. The passion flower is my favourite, but that cactus is so cool too. Wonder what the extra plant is?

I don't know Droopy but it sure has grown and it looks curly.I like it.I think I'll take it out before the cactus takes over it too.

Oh Glenda I enjoy seeing your fotos so much. I never tire of them, honestly.
This time you have some really interesting stuff.
The little froggie with the yellow on it's belly--are those eggs or pigment, do you reckon?
Isn't that Passion flower a remarkable thing?
--and the lilac Lantana has such a delicate colour.
Please just keep showing the flowers in your garden--they are wonderful to see.

Thank you Sjord and Droopy I dont know
what the yellow is .I took him on my storm door and I tried to see but he would start to move .It sure looked it to me.I wish the Passion vine could be seen in person.It is all over my ceder tree and almost to the top all the way around it and blooms all over.I do hope it produces enough fruit so I can have some for others to share.

Wonderful photos Glenda! I just love those Passion flowers too. I have some of that red Salvia this year and I hadn't noticed any smell. Now I'll be out sniffing them!
Keep those photos coming!

Ah, that one! I can't remember the name of it either at the moment. They're pretty even though they stink.
