The surprise lilies in your post caught my eye too. They are super pretty.<br />Our weather has been very similar to yours. Yesterday was cool, but tomorrow and the next day the heat returns. Gosh, I hope that is it for really hot, humid days for this summer. I am looking forward to cooler fall weather. I do hope that we don't suddenly get really cold though. The weather does seem to swing in extremes these days. <br />Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-45710097339816434092016-08-23T07:20:31.715-05:002016-08-23T07:20:31.715-05:00I've been trying to get a decent shot of the h...I've been trying to get a decent shot of the hummers in my flowers, Cassi, but I'm just too slow.

Although they are daily visitors here, I never tire of watching them. You are probably right about the hydrangea. Mine is much too big to move now, and I'm running out of space in the shade to plant anything else, so I guess I will have to leave it alone. A friend in the plant business also told me that the early browning can be caused by stress, such as all the heat we've had this summer, and to give it extra water during those times. I noticed yesterday that the blooms are much pinker than usual, thanks to all the rain we had last week, I'm sure.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-6087747924678603032016-08-23T07:09:02.015-05:002016-08-23T07:09:02.015-05:00Thank you, Ela; I love the zinnias, too.

I have one male that hangs out near my feeder and seems to chase everyone else away, too. So aggressive and tiny!<br /><br />We never had too much of a dry spell up here, but we did have that dome of hot and humid air. Yesterday and today were spectacular, though, with temps in the 70s and very low humidity. Given that it's just late August, I'm sure that won't stay!Cassihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04058787761575567910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-16535833346201904612016-08-22T12:46:21.069-05:002016-08-22T12:46:21.069-05:00Hi Rose!
