Green

Not much blooming out the yard, given our 110+ temps lately, but here are a few closeups of some plants with interesting shapes to their leaves.

First, a four o'clock that's sprouted, over an inch high now and seems to be doing fine on the porch. Looks like I have a few more starting to come up, also.

One of two love-lies-bleeding that have sprouted from seed from a mother plant that finally gave in to the heat.



Yellow dot that's spreading in my raised planter, no blooms, but with ample water it seems to be withstanding the heat okay.

After losing most of it's leaves, the three-leaf sumac is greening up again, probably because of the increase in humidity.

The chinese pistache is still looking good, I think after three years I've finally figured out how to water this tree without it's leaves wilting and browning in the summer.



And finally, yet another look at the turks cap, thriving in the shade of a mesquite tree.
