It’s Blooming Hot

Seriously, it’s hot here in Hays County this summer. In spite of the surface-of-the-sun temperatures, there are a few things blooming. I thought I’d share a few colorful flowers with you. Some are not native but still do well in our zone and provide important food sources for pollinators and hummingbirds during these hot months.
I was particularly delighted to find a native gum bumelia tree blooming in the middle of July. It’s tucked into a wooded area near my house but receives no supplemental water at all. The rest of these bloomers are in my pollinator garden.
