Here in the desert it is reaching the triple digits and the flowers will soon be gone. Since I don't have a card today I thought I would share a few pics flowers I took this morning.

The cactus have almost finished blooming now
My grapes will be ready to pick in another month
The trumpet vine likes the heat and is growing like crazy giving us lots of bright color and plenty of nectar for the visiting hummers.
These lilies are rather plain but they have the most delightful fragrance!
desert bird of paradise
double hibicus 
I let this artichoke stay on to long so I cut it off and set it aside and forgot to take it to the trash. When I went to water last night it was putting out the purple spikes so I cut it and put in water and this morning look how pretty it is.
I love scented geraniums and they are not easy to grow here in the desert! I had a huge one for a couple years and two summers ago it was so hot and humid it rotted. Well this year I have all these little volunteers coming up from some the seeds that scattered. Hope you enjoyed the little stroll thru part of my garden this morning. You all have a wonderful holiday weekend :)
