About four years ago a friend gave me some insignificant little "sticks" which were from her well established trumpet vine. She assured me they would grow but I wasn't convinced. Well they did grow but for the last three years they only produced leaves, lots and lots of leaves. This year there are flowers! I'm very happy.
@foxes37 Not everything is thriving Lis and sadly some things have died as a result of the extreme heat. However we have had a bit more rain than you have added to which we have heavy clay soil which holds the moisture. I suspect you’ve got sandy soil. The lawn is still green but this is largely due to the fact that it’s mostly weeds 😂😂 and weeds thrive whatever the conditions. The hollyhock are also thriving 😂.
A nice shot of these beauties, Sue! I just learned of these flowers this summer. Apparently, hummingbirds really like these flowers, but I haven't spotted any yet. Maybe you will be luckier! :)
