I love September and all the fall colors - but it is one of our hottest months of the year in So Cal. 97 today and tomorrow with hot winds. Not good conditions for gardening.

But, there are still some very hardy plants that will bloom under our high heat, searing sun and hot winds.

Spider Lilies (my neighbor was throwing these away!)

Plumerias - sorry don't know any of the names, they are very very old and were started from cuttings:

5-FF5-A079-6-DCA-492-F-BED4-2-A57-E533-B1-A9-1-105-c

Bougainvillea "Sea Foam"

Happy Labor Day and Happy September, the gateway to Fall!

I haven’t seen a Spider Lily in ages - since I lived in Imperial Beach, CA in 1980-82. :)

And you KNOW how I feel about the scent of Plumeria. *SWOON*

As always, your seasonal decor is adorable. :) I’m assuming the ‘Garden Helpers’ are inside with the A/C blasting? LOL!
