We are bracing for heat in So Cal in the coming week, temps hovering around 95 degrees, hotter in inland areas, up to 115 where my relatives live.

So now it's all about maintenance, watering and mulching as much as possible.

Few things bloom in our extreme summer heat and hot winds.

I do have some tiger liles coming up in a shaded area:

Plumerias can stand some heat, these are in partial sun:

And this lone iris that is blooming bravely:

Ready for the 4th of July!!

The scent of Plumeria is one of my favorites. :)
