Garden Bloggers Bloom Day for July

My Garden looks more like August than July.
Drought has hit heavy this year as well as the hot hot 98-100 daily.
Here are my survivors.

Zinnia from seed
Torenia
Crape Myrtle
Oleander
Indigo Blue Spires and Red Salvia
View from walkway
Passion vine mixed with petunia
Flame Anisacanthus (hummingbird bush)
Sage
More Zinnia

Unknown from MIL
Mexican Petunia- Ruellia brittoniana
(This one goes crazy every year but is great with the drought so I left it all over for color. Something I may regret next year.)
Russian Sage, my daughter calls it the bee plant because it is always full of bees.
And more Zinnia
Turks Cap is such an interesting plant and a survivor!

I do have others blooming but they just do not look good enough to post. My butterfly bushes, purple coneflowers, pincushion, lantanas, a few roses, phlox, and beauty berry are all surviving.

Thank you Carol for having bloom day so we can share and see gardens all over the world.
