Kuju Lavender

Lavender field in Kuju.

DA & Fuchsia

DA "Pat Austin" and fuchsia from cutting. This is the only fuchsia that survives our hot and humid summers. Got the mother plants decades ago and this baby is less than one year old. Pat Austin beautiful in spite of the heat. One day combo...won't last longer because of the high temperatures.

Hot and humid

The garden is tired from heat and sauna effect. The blooms do not look the way they suppose to look. The colors are off and most of the flowers are spotted. However, there was one beauty blooming after the last rain. Cutting of C.Miss.Tokyo? Actually not sure.

'Midget Blue'

Clematis 'Midget Blue' blooms again. Pretty petit flowers. Very compact plant, unusual in my garden where everything tends to get huge.
