Only the chartreuse Margarita Ipomoea batatas is brightening dark corners on this hot August day.
As the summer wears on it just can't rain enough to battle the effects of the intense heat and wilting humidity so any bit of shade is not only sought out but battled over.
Witness any asphalt parking lot about two o'clock on a busy day. The heat lightning turns the evening air an unnatural rosy pink which becomes an even more unusual yellow green after the relief of a final downpour.
The wind and the angle of the sun are changing.
Soon it will be time for a Labor Day hurricane to come roaring into the Gulf. Until then there's time to wander around the garden to look for the last of the summer flowers.

it looks so pretty there Holley:)
Pretty! I love the bench under the arch! I dread hearing a hurricane is headed our way! I'm praying this heat doesn't bring one on!
It all looks so cool and inviting...even though I know that we're in the throes of summer! Love that bench...I may have to move mine, now!
hugs
