Hot day in the garden

Makes you wonder how some plants are surviving in this heat.You have a lovely garden Drc.

Thanks Suey. It a wonder on my baked clay that they survive, although I do find plants such as Helianthus and Rudbeckias wilt if they go too long with out water.

I agree Suey and I love that pot in the right hand corner.

Thanks Cosmosjane. Its a huge pot 36" by 36" with a Clematis and small obilisk in the centre, after the tulips died down I planted with Violas and it has Ivy on 2 sides. Its on a wrought iron stand and sits on the old well cover.
A real indulgence about 3 years ago and I love it.

How much? I mean temperature.
