Dare I say Summer has arrived at last? The weather report says temperatures will be in the 80s this week. So I guess instead of complaining about the cooler Summer temps. we can complain about the heat. *grin*
This unusual flower is growing in a friend's garden. It is about 2 feet tall she does not know the name of the plant, and neither do I.
Here is one I don't remember planting. It is about three feet high, and I don't know what is is either. Anyone know what the two plants are?
No, I am not dead, just way too hot in this fur coat.
It's phlomis! I have planted it, but mine never grew from the seed or I pulled it out one..lol!!
ReplyDeleteHello Jennifer, I think your friends plant is:Phlomis russeliana 'sticky Jerusalem sage' in the mint family. And yours looks like: Lysimachia punctata 'Yellow Loosestrife'. Hope this helps. And I hope your bunny keeps that cool spot. I feel like him, temps in the 99 to 101 today and higher tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThe 1st plant is Jerusalem Sage. It looks like the most common species: Phlomis fruticosa. The 2nd plant appears to be Evening Primrose: Oenothera. I am less sure of that. I fully intend to complain about the heat.
ReplyDeletei posted a ton of the second plant and was told it looked like evening primrose.....
ReplyDeleteThat first one looks like phlomis fruticosa - alas not hardy in Connecticut but very desirable!
ReplyDeleteI know the Jerusalem Sage, but not the other one! That looks like one hot rabbit!
