It is so hot and sunny here in Naples, Florida.....we have degrees in the 90's!!! My family tells me that it is snowing on the mountains in the Cape in South Africa where the World Football (Soccer) Cup is hosted. We really have the two extremes between the northern and southern hemisphere. It feels to me that hardly anything growing outside right now can survive this Florida sun and heat. My poor lavender plant couldn't survive but I will share some photographs with you this week of plants that have survived and still thrive in this humidity and heat!
Bloom where you are planted...even though you might feel you are in the fiery furnace!!
All images taken by me
This earth is so amazing the way things do bloom where they are planted, adjusting and thriving...the flowers are very pretty! Come say hi :D
