Summer Color With Children Playing... Day 175

Hardy Shrub Roses in the background have not been irrigated or pruned while the family was gone for a year at the University.   Can't understand why the girls were not impressed. : )

Summer Color Rudbeckia... Day 164

Rudbeckia 'Goldstrum'
This is a flower at the Houston LDS Temple.  The Temple grounds are always a wonderful respite in the summer.

Summer Color Pentas and Angeloina... Day 157

I have run out of new CrapeMyrtles to capture.  I have a Twilight and a Burgandy cotton that should start blooming... Hoping before my granddaughter is born.  The short of it is I have pictures I took in Houston at the Houston Latter Day Saint Temple. Their gardens are to die for.

Red Pentas tucked in White and Purple Angeloina (these are called the summer snapdragon)  The tiger day lily in the back ground was the only one.

Tuscarora CrapeMyrtle Used to be a number one seller.  It has a slight orangish tint. This is a street tree.

This was at the entrance to the Houston LDS Temple. I picked up my grandsons there.  Probably a Red Rocket.

Southern Summer Color Series ...Day 150

It has begun, the crapemyrtles have begun to bloom their hearts out.  They offer the South a wonderful kaleidoscope of color. Sometimes it is even on the same tree.  For the next few days I will be posting the different colors along our city street.  You can choose what your favorite would be.  I raised these and knew all their different names, but now I have a hard time identifying the pinks and reds, so many of them.
This is probably a Tuskegee (knowing what they sell here).
