Poppy Thrives in Heat

Poppy Thrives in Heat

I didn't spend much time outside today because of the heat advisory, but this oriental poppy came out in splendor going from bud to bloom over the course of the day. My Ostrich fern didn't do so well today. Even in the shade its leaves wilted and started to dry up. When I noticed, I gave it water and hoped I wasn't too late. I just learned the heat advisory has been extended for another couple of days, so I'll have to watch the fern carefully. ... great weather for my solar clothes dryer! So tomorrow, I'll wash the dogs' pillows and hang them out to dry.
