I was pleasantly surprised to see the Star Jasmine blooming on the South Deck in all this heat. It is full of new buds. The fragrance is wonderful.
The Red Mandeville has little or no odor, but that just keeps blooming. It is not a pretty plant I would guess because it is so old and I left it get straggly because it is patented and I have not taken the time to cut it. The hummingbirds used to love it but I have not seen any this year.
You can see some of our baby Christmas Trees in the background of Red. They are really suffering from this heat, even with the irrigation.
Have a nice day everyone and please stay cool and drink lots of water.
