My new garden man cave

I was complaining the other day, that I needed a working bench for outside my garden. Look what I got for fathers day,  I finally have my own garden man cave.

This week at the DragonFly Garden

The hot July summer is doing a number on many of my plants.  The good news is that we are getting daily rain storms, soaking the ground and keeping the garden green.  The only plants that don't mind the heat and the rain are the Bromeliads.  This is one of my favorite bromeliad flowers. 

  

Ruellias do well during our hottest months

Every now and then I get one day flowers from my cactus collection.

My garden is full of Blue Porterflower weeds, it is an invasive plant that as some point you have to pull them out or they take over the entire garden.  One positive about this plant, bees love the flowers.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY
