Garden update just before our... Summer Vacation

Views from the back gazebo.






Over-wintered Fuchsia with additions of
Scaevola 'New Wonder' and trailing Tasmanian violets










The blue clay pot is filled with Broccoli and the tomatoe above is 'Green Zebra' .




Hydrangea in full bloom... this variety usually doesn't blooms until August.

Solar Hummingbird & Dragonfly

The hummer was starting to glow as darkness set in. Now if I could catch a real hummingbird in flight...




'Flashing lights' & 'Arctic fire' dianthus in flower.
My little 'Patio charm' tomatoe finally starting to fill out. It even has three fruit trusses ready to bloom.

At night the dragonfly glows. I like the red and the blue light best, the green is a bit eerie.

Damselfly on Butterfly Impatiens.

You can see a Damselfly perched on an Impatiens flower. It has been as high as 37C here, which is about 99F. This morning it is only 20C so far.(high 20's for today) We have had a few really hot days mixed with average temperatures.
