After all the rain last week the scattered rains have missed us everyday since Saturday. Two days in a row I drove through rain 1 mile from my house by we didn't get any of the lovely drops. So goes the strange Florida rainy season.<br /><br />In this heat it doesn't take long for Meemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341998120938921741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-18677133870232823702011-07-13T23:03:50.369-04:002011-07-13T23:03:50.369-04:00The plants are lovin' the rain -- how quickly ...The plants are lovin' the rain -- how quickly we forget that weeds are plants, too.

Your garden is overflowing. <br /><br />The stromanthe photo really does look like a watercolor. So pretty. My poor stromanthe which I divided last fall has struggled to grow back from winter. Hopefully it will come back and be strong enough to make it through this winter. <br /NanaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425496284594894548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-50643683696888261432011-07-11T19:43:25.655-04:002011-07-11T19:43:25.655-04:00Thank goodness the rainy season started.

The plants are lovin' it I always love it when you take us for a stroll through your garden.<br /><br />Have you seen any any white peacock butterflies? Last summer was the first time I saw them. I took a pic and asked Rick Brown to identify it. We have more this year. Also am seeing more Swallowtails this year.<br /><br />Enjoy!SiestaSisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09810517627451623408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-36244570854906800542011-07-11T18:43:25.320-04:002011-07-11T18:43:25.320-04:00We are having a bit cooler dry season than normal ...We are having a bit cooler dry season than normal here in Australia.

We've had lots of rain too so that our place is looking more jungle like. We are also thankful for all the rain we've had.<br /><br />Boy the humidity is so awful. We are drinking lots of water, more than usual, as we are sweating like crazy. We are looking forward to cooler temps come fall. :-)<br /><br />Happy Summer FlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-40654868673735572082011-07-11T08:58:40.061-04:002011-07-11T08:58:40.061-04:00So Beautiful and so different from the plants we h...So Beautiful and so different from the plants we have here.
