I'm glad the weather is more suitable now Raquel. I wonder , from what I can see of the flowers, if your mystery plant is a type of Lamium ( or at least that family ) - Probably not lol ... but it's just a guess from the flower shape.

Glad to hear there's been a break in the heat and humidity - hope all the new plants take off really well for you. Good to see the impatiens coming back. Here's hoping your autumn continues to be a good one.

I really like the colour of that Chrysanthemum - very pretty.
What does the Indian corn symbolise, Raquel ?
I just thought they were to feed the birds.

Those pink & red flowers you like before the caladiums might be the annual Globe Amaranth or Gomphrena. Next walk, see if you can get some seed in any case.

Both great choices - I have those myself. My red also has the variegated foliage which is really nice. I don't think you'll be disappointed with the pentas.

Strange weather. We've reeturned to fall, barely freezes. We should be setting into the deep freeze, never above 32 right now. Hope your rain gives a little kick to your struggling survivors. :-)

I'd inquire at any local nursery. There I'd expect most to have it shading the outside tables. They'll have some, or have a source. You know the stuff, those dark sheets they put over oudoor nursery tables like tarps? I see it all over in the desert in Utah and Arizona Nurseries. Keeps things from drying out or getting sunburn.

I now have a whole outdoors garden bed full of them - there's all sorts of different colours available now and they just keep on growing and flowering no matter what! Well worth it.

Bet These Smell Yummi :)

I would even recommend taking them inside and sitting them in trays of water - out of the direct sunlight. There will be enough bright sunlight inside for them to grow over the summer.
