Pretty! :~)
Those hibiscus flowers are really big, aren’t they?
I went out and picked off every flower off my petunias and geraniums, they were all soggy from the rain and it might set them up to be in prime shape when our company comes if i prune them all now.
One of the petunia varieties we planted is supposed to be some kind of new double flower. I have yet to see it produce a good flower... they’re growing all kinds of PLANT, huge healthy plant, but no flowers, and the one or two blooms that have tried to form were deformed. I’m not sure yet if they’re going to do anything.
Yes, the hibiscus are big. I finally pulled my petunia's up, they were getting so leggy. I tried pruning them back, but they looked bad. I replanted some begonias. I've never had much luck with petunias. Here's the pictures of my pasture's. Doesn't look like much in the pictures, but there is lots of bermuda growing out there, that if I can keep the weeds knocked down, and don't let the horse's over graze it will spread nicely. Years ago before my first big weed eater was stolen and I had to wait several years to get another I had it quit a bit growing out there, enough that my horses had green poop:). That's how I gage how much they are getting:)
Rocky's side.
What I still have left to mow on his side. I've been out there mowing now, but I just can't push the weed eater thru the mud anymore, this part will have to wait. In fact this is the first year that much grass has grown out in this area at all, I'm guess the rain, so I guess I shouldn't be complaining about it. I'm going to have to do a lot of picking up of dead branches still out there from when the barn ripped thru there before I can mow it anyway.
Harley's side. The front part I can do with the riding mower, it's where the arena use to be and is smooth enough that I don't hit any rocks. About where that one tree stump is, on the left the little clump of what looks like weeds still there, and back I have to use the weed eater. Too rocky. The weeds back there were all about the size of whats around the dead tree.
And my impatiens today.
Frog, and Blade, this is the best I can do to help you out on your drought, is send you a picture of our rain.

Have you seen this thread:

I don’t get it...do you see anything that would have made someone call the mod? Geez, people over there are sensitive, or am I just calloused from FR:)?
