| A closeup. inside view of a Ruellia humilis bloom. |
I've been a bit busy lately, so this post got delayed to today. The native
Ruellia humilis are in full bloom at the edge of the driveway despite my refusal to water them. Now there's talk of drought in Illinois and I'm having flashbacks to that awful year of 1988. I wish I had invested in another rain barrel, but it's too late for should'ves, so watering priorities must be made. It's good to be able to rely on some plants to take care of themselves. The love/hate relationship with
Ruellia continues.

But what good would a rain barrel be if you don't get any rain to go in it? That's the shape we're in here. :-(
I love purple. Lovely bloom.
Lovely colour, I can see why it was photo of the week!
Rain is no where to be found in my neck of the woods either! The South of us is getting more then their share from Debby while we remain bone dry!
Your Bloom Day posting shows lots of pretty happy blooms considering the lack of wet stuff....
Clematis is stunning in all colors. I added a few this year but they may time some time to give out a show such as your show...
