A Sultry Wind from the South

A hot wind has been blowing from the south all day today. Perfect weather for the grand opening of this lovely red hibiscus. The wind was strong enough that it was nearly as hard to take this picture as it is to take a picture of a butterfly. The darn thing just wouldn't sit still.

The truth is things here are beginning to dry up. Some of the plants are beginning to look terminal. Rain will be welcome. Nice gentle rain is best, but we have to take what comes. Gardeners complain but they know that's how it is.
