Some of the more interesting things going on here. Pretty much all potted -- in-ground plants are looking bad, bad, bad from the heat and drought.
'Tam Kam' Korean Persimmon -- my first fruit

Pink Oleander

Crepe Myrtle (kind of flattened from brief heavy rain earlier)

Pomegranate flowering -- I hope it sets fruit

Star Fruit tree -- fruit forming (kind of fuzzy, sorry)

Dwarf ornamental ginger (Cucurma )

One of the Cajun Color series hibiscus -- I don't remember its name.

European Fan Palm -- one of my favorite palms, about as hardy as a snake plant

Buttered Popcorn Senna -- leaves smell like buttered popcorn, really cool
[IMG][/IMG]
Red Lady Dwarf Papaya -- setting fruit!

Franklinia is budding!

Kitchen sink planter - a discarded stainless steel sink is now home to Sedums

Storm clouds brewing -- we need more rain! Less than an inch and half in July.

Everything looks gorgeous.

(18,219 posts)I think we should have pictures of the house in winter.....I am laughing thinking of how full it must be.

I want a crepe myrtle! And that European fan palm is striking. I'll bet it adds a lot of atmosphere to your place.
