Some heatwave survivors

We have had a day of thunder and lightning with heavy downpours.
The Roses and Peonies are battered which breaks my heart to see.

Oh dear, that’s sad Julia. We were hoping for rain but it bypassed us by a few miles … heard the thunder though.

I've just been out deadheading those that were half snapped...still nevermind there is always the 2nd flush.
Your Bill Wallis is so intense..lovely one.

Seems to me that all these plants loved the hot weather Sheila.
Love all your plants there. Your beech tree is forming beautifully and I am a great fan of verbenas, all kinds.

I love your verbena Sheila, its been very hot here also and a very bad storm last night, but my plants seem to be ok, I think I have just been lucky.

No substantial rain here for a month, ground so dry. Love the colour of G. Bill Wallis

Many thanks everyone for your kind words 🙂.

Your garden is coping well Sheila. Your plants look colourful and summery :)

I agree Sheila, all looking really well and busy flowering. Yes, Bill Wallis is stunning..

Thank you very much Hywel and Janey 🙂.

LOvely plants, Not really taken stock of what has /hasn't survived yet. We have also been away and though cool there has been no rain here either.

Thanks Sheila, I was trying to identify a little purple geranium I had neglected and low and behold your picture came up and presto! It’s Bill Wallis! Thanks.

Thanks Eileen and Amsterdam!
