It's time to join Jean at http://msgreenthumbjean.blogspot.com for Bloomin' Tuesday! My plants are alive, the blooms are few due to the heat. It is very challenging to keep everything watered. We did receive about one tenth of an inch of rain last evening and it was just beautiful falling from the sky.Ipomoea 'Blackie'
Daylily
White Zinnia in the mist of Blue Bedder Salvia and Purple Coneflowers
Hibiscus with a guest. Thanks for the seed Dirt Princess.
I normally cut the first flowering stalks out of my Dusty Miller in order to get much bushier plants. 
If you purchase black oil sunflower seeds to feed the birds, every now and then this happens!
Thanks for all of the nice comments about my veggies in yesterday's post. We do have an area where we 'try' to grow veggies. I did however plant the onions in my full sun flower garden and now that area has been replanted with Bell Peppers. Also in the full sun flower garden are hot Rooster Spur Peppers and hot Datil Peppers.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today I am Thankful that the majority of my plants are alive!

Darla gorgeous blooms Love the daylily.. with the bright red throat. Those veggies look good too bet you can hardly wait for the tomatoes to ripen. Tomatoes in my garden are just starting to flower I have a long wait ....
Your day lily is gorgeous, Darla, and how nice to have an unexpected sunflower pop up!
Gorgeous blooms as always Darla. I love the little hens & chicks in the shoe planter, so cute. And that Ipomoea 'Blackie' is a striking plant! :)
Beautiful blooms, Darla! It looks cooler there, even if it's not!
Beautiful flowers,despite the heat and dryness.
Beautiful! I enjoyed visiting from Ms. Green Thumb Jeans!
It is a challenge to keep the flowers going. My garden hose broke last week and my plants ended up going 8 days without water. Too hot to work in the garden too and I need to real bad. Zinnia looks pretty nestled in the salvia with a coneflower in the background.
Your flowers are gorgeous, Darla! they are very much alive. Love the tennis shoe planter..Christine
it's hard to keep things going with out rain...
oh i love the plants in the shoe, very great idea!! so cute!!
That day lily is gorgeous! I also love your combination of the white zinnia and the blue salvia. I wanted to grow zinnias for a long time, but somehow never made it to sow the seeds, so I am glad that I get to enjoy yours.

Total eye candy, once again, girlfriend. I love the shoe and the daylily is gorgeous! I've never seen the Ipomoea 'Blackie.' What a cool plant! I can't wait to see the peppers! Cute sunflower too!
The flowers are beautiful. I'm not a pepper fan, but Datil Peppers always remind me of my Dad because he loved them so much!
So beautiful, your garden. You are doing well to keep everything alive and blooming. You must be doing something right.
Thanks for your visit. I am a new follower. Ginger :)
The black sweet potato vine is so exotic looking.
Very pretty flowers and photos.
Cool--you got a bloom on 'Blackie'! I was thrilled the first time that happened to me. In my climate blooms on ipomea are not that common.
glad to hear you got a bit of rain. I hope you get more soon.
Love the 'surprise' sunflower! Your zinnia is pretty, I'm still waiting for my first bloom-enjoy:@)
Great looking blooms. Love the shoe.
I have a volunteer zinnia. Not ready to bloom. May have to prop it up by that time. My sweet potato vines never bloom. Trying to propagate the very light one as they are not plentiful around here.
Darla, Love the daylily and the Ipomoea! We have been quite dry too after all the rain we had in spring. Jean
Love that white zinnia!
Lovely flowers! I don't think I've ever seen a white zinnia before!
Your daylily is beautiful! Thanks for stopping by my blog and for the nice comment!
Your flowers look great! Your right though, the heat is making it tough on them.
Pray for rain!!

The flowers look great. I thanks for the inspiration with the onions below. I was thinking mine weren't making progress, but looking at the leaves on yours I think I need to give them time.
Fantastic garden you have, with so many beautiful flowers to see. I haven't seen Dusty Miller flower before, and yours are so pretty.
"You sure have a green thumb, DarlaSuziQ" That's what My Daddy used to say to me, and now I say it to you. Your garden does grow fine, in spite of the few drops of rain here and there. Love everything and look at those fine veggies. Mine are just up, meaning about a few inches.
Sweet sour cabbage sure sounds like a plan and fried green tomatoes.

Such beautiful photos.. Darla, thanks for your comment this morning but I did pay the extra for photo uploading a few months ago... today the uploader comes up and I can put in photos but they will not go into blog.. I even used picassa with no luck?... let me keep trying!
Thanks
Sandy
I long for flowers like that. The zone i live in is hard on anything this time of year.
Thanks for sharing with us all to enjoy.
Your flowers are beautiful!
Beautiful!
I am also thankful for the rain we've seen over the last week or so. It has been so hot and dry. And I am thankful for a day or two of not having to drag waterhoses all over the place.
I just wanted to stop by and thank you for visiting my site on GBBD. I like the shoe planter. I have a real hard time throwing out my old boots, perhaps I could plant something in them. It seems only appropriate.
