We've been ridiculously short of rain too but (the guys) have been watering most of the shrubs and trees on the property which is probably why our Heptacodium looks less stressed ... Kim, They’re every which-a-way! (I swear I’m not doing acrobatics to shoot them! - not much anyway) Mr. McG’s Daughter, Thank you for visiting!

Kim, They’re every which-a-way! (I swear I’m not doing acrobatics to shoot them! – not much anyway)

I am loving the mantis posts, but wonder why they all seem to be hanging upside down in your garden? It's cute, I've just only seen them upright before! (But granted, I haven't seen too many.)

While my Heptacodium miconiodes looks better than ever, it doesn't look as good as the 1 in your photo. The leaves of mine are brown around the edges because we've been short of rain for the last month. Not much leaf changing happening here yet, though. Just waiting for that Autumn chill.

I love that you still have a garden choir! Do you think you'll try the Rabdosia? It's come back for us 2 years running... EH, it's weirdly warm (hot) here - for you too? Yesterdays fog bank abandoned us for a full on summer mug today. I checked out your 'Joe White' - really handsome! YE, I thought you were going to get to work on virtual scratch'n'sniff! - cant' wait! Our days are an hour or so longer that yours right now I think. When do you usually get a frost? Jodi, Thank you!

Good to know you're feeling much better. Love that trumpet spurflower, very pretty! The Clerodendrum looks great too, what a pity we don't have scratch and sniff on the internet yet. ;-) It gets light at 7.30 now and darkness falls aorund 7 in the evening here, so the days are getting decidedly shorter. But there's still a lot to enjoy in my garden: roses, asters, anemones, verbena bonariensis, dahlias and many more. Soon it will be GBBD again and I can show you what's in bloom in my garden. :-) Great post Kris! Good to know you’re feeling much better. Love that trumpet spurflower, very pretty!
