For these Northern eyes, it was such a beautiful sight! I envy your plumbago, too. I grew it once--as an annual--and so enjoyed those blue blooms. One bloom I do share with you is the Tithonia. This is the first time I've grown it, and it isn't blooming yet, but I can't wait. Another Illinois blogger swears it's the best plant for drawing butterflies.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-26721740496906463142016-07-18T22:31:43.393-05:002016-07-18T22:31:43.393-05:00That's one of the reasons I enjoy Bloom Day - ...That's one of the reasons I enjoy Bloom Day - getting to see what blooms in other gardens around the world, such as your English garden.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-72174726749149697002016-07-18T20:51:58.329-05:002016-07-18T20:51:58.329-05:00Beautiful summer flowers – and many of them are ne...Beautiful summer flowers – and many of them are new to me, but that just shows how different our summers are :-)HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-72698941789600153472016-07-16T22:07:37.120-05:002016-07-16T22:07:37.120-05:00As I said, they are tough plants.

There are plenty of them around here. Our backyard is fenced and I don't think they ever get in there, but I do sometimes see their hoofprints in the front yard.

I think I'm suffering from the heat more than usual this year simply because I haven't been able to get out in it regularly and get acclimated. When I go out now, it is stifling.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-51256789366590214342016-07-15T14:51:53.099-05:002016-07-15T14:51:53.099-05:00It is always a pleasure to see your garden.

My second most loved plant of the South next to camillas. I lived in Wichita Falls, TX for about eight months and remember the majestic cannas we saw.
