My hot weather flowers are loving it, though. The Scarlet Morning Glories have entangled themselves with another MG of undetermned pedigree.
And the Bat-faced Cupheas are running more rampant than ever.
Still trying to get a really good close-up of these fascinating blossoms.
also this wild hibiscus, Comfortroot, I believe,
and Corn Snakeroot will hopefully perform for a few more weeks.
I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house. So I spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air. -- Nathaniel Hawthorne

Great pictures. It is also starting to get cooler and less humid here. Not enough to open our windows yet, but better than a few weeks ago.
Send some of that coolness down south, PLEASE!
Those bat-faced thingies are cute! I wonder if they'd grow down here?
Never heard of the Bat-faced Cupheas but it is easy to see where they got their name.
Nice photo's all around.
And that Hawthorne fellow was pretty danged smart wasn't he.
Nice! A gorgeous, fallish morning here made it very tough to actually go to work.
Cedrorum, it was SO nice while it lasted. Can't wait for more.
SwampAngel, it's nice at night, but no more open window days so far. You should try the cupheas. They love the sun & heat and hummers love them.
Baker, Hawthorne definitely had the right idea. In fact, I should be out there right now.
FC, I can imagine! LOVE this time of year! Last night was cool and foggy and we all just stood out on the deck and admired it at length. It's like we cocoooned all summer and are just coming to life again.
Me and Nathaniel... ahhh... to be outdoors in the open air... nothing better.
I was up your way this weekend as you suspected. The weather was perfectly wonderful Saturday night (actually made sitting through 4 quarters of football bearable- but don't tell anyone I said that).
All your flowers are still looking so summery and bright.
Love the green snake in the previous post. I had almost forgotten they exist... haven't seen one in years. Lucky you.

Meems, from what I hear, that must've been a really hard game to sit through.
I sure hope this coolness lasts. It's been soooooooooo niiiiiiiiice. 8-}
I hope the cooler weather lasts for you too. And keep those breathtaking nature photos coming.
