This is a not so vibrant viburnum.
The one plant that I do have which likes the heat is growing quickly. This past week the sprouts on the cactus shot out a few inches. Hot and dry is their preferred climate. One can find these growing naturally in Nebraska, one state over from Iowa. I remember seeing them growing in the ditches next to the interstate with yellow blooms.
Daily watering and keeping these planters in the shade all day under my porch roof has proven the only way to go. They are not as robust as a normal summer growth period gives me but by fall they should all be filled out in full bloom.
Saturday chores and a large framing job will keep me inside all day today. It seems to be cloudy this morning and cool so we are starting off the weekend in a good way. Thanks for stopping by my post today.

More days of hot weather and no rain forecast here too, it's all so worrying.
Hope your Saturday chores go well, lots to do there !

Hi Larry, No rain here this week either. Our hydrangea looks much like your viburnum.
This yard had a lot of cacti when we moved in. We were afraid Harriet would bump into it (she's so short) so our painter friend dug it up for his garden. It has pretty yellow blooms.
Hope you both have enjoyed this Saturday. Blessings for a nice Sunday.
Much the same here although, I've killed a succulent in a container because I watered it too much. Wasn't paying attention while watering some other flowers. Sigh. In a drought, it drowned. Crazy.
Sorry that the rain didn't get to your area, Larry as it did in parts of the east coast with a vengeance. I have been hearing and watching the news reports about the increasing drought conditions for growers which will bring higher food and dairy costs. It's a sad situation for everyone now.
