the naked ladies (Lycoris Squamigera) have just started blooming
The Knockout roses are blooming again
The perennial Ruella loves the heat.
Portulaca also loves the heat. This is a good plant for me to have in a hanging container. I only water it 3 times a week and it doesn't seem to mind.
I believe this is a Fritillary butterfly and it loves the zinnias.
Wow, look what a little water soluble fertilizer does for a pot of Wave Petunias.
Mrs. Weaver is back. She is an orb weaver and she has built her web on my bay window where I can watch her every move from inside the house.
Thank you for visiting Empty Nest Gardens and Quilts.
Until next time,

I love the naked ladies, mine are probably blooming at home and I am missing them this year.

That Wave petunia is gorgeous. It looks so full and lush. Iam glad you posted about the naked ladies. I had forgotten about my small clump. Gotta go see if they are blooming too. Beautiful photo's.
Love the photos of your beautiful garden. Those petunia's are luscious. What a pretty butterfly and you caught him on the flower perfect. What a great garden!
Beautiful photos, never get tired of looking at the flowers. I read your last post, about the rose bush--was wondering what you are using for mulch. Thanks for the encouragement about the weeds--I do get very discouraged sometimes. By summer's end there's more weeds than I can keep up with.
Gorgeous flowers! Your Wave petunias are so beautiful. My zinnias are brown and crunchy :( but I still have a lot of other pretty flowers to enjoy. UGH! I am ready for some cooler weather. This heat is so awful!
Stay cool!
