Blooms around the yard this afternoon

August is a great month for blooms in my yard. Here's a pic of a few things I caught a pic of in my yard today. 

My Crape Myrtle is blooming in full force now. This is one of the smaller bloom heads.

Don't know what I'd do without some hibiscus plants in the yard!

Cannas are also amazing blooms. These dwarf cannas make great potted plants and are constantly blooming in summer heat.

You can see my desert rose blooming on the table. I can't think of a better flowering plant for a really hot and sunny location. They do love water when they have fast draining soil.
