Getting up before the sun actually rises can help you find great colors. It didn't look like this for very long as I went back to bed for twenty more minutes and this was all gone.
The phlox does respond to the warm sunshine as well as the heavy humidity. I was outside for a short while without a hat and I really got heated through. Both hats that I have were up the next story of the house in the garage and I was being lazy.
My sunflowers look rather weathered from all the high winds that we have been having. They are all staked and tied now to keep them from laying on the ground.
My first tomato was small. It is the best they could do at this point. I have some larger ones that are still green and I hope they start to ripe soon.
The newly hatched sparrows are fun to watch. The don't quite have their balancing act together and they just sit and look around to see what is going on around them. The fledglings are many in number.
At the other end of this bed I planted my new zinnia starts. I checked on them this morning and all but one are standing straight and looking alive. One single one had a very large stem and it is not not doing well and I can't reach it to correct it with a deeper hole. Maybe another day I can figure out how to reach it wiht out stepping on things.
My two large stems that budded late are actually this form of tiger lily. I bought them and the photo didn't show that they were a variation of the original tiger lily. My grandmother had an old fashioned tiger lily and I thought that was so magical to see. I may have to order some on the net. "Lillium double tiger lily"
We are going to be very hot today again. Our humidity is high and the air quality is bad. Smoke of course likes heavy humidity.
Thanks for stopping by today.
