Pics taken Sunday. Love, love how my Robin's egg blue looks in the top pic. The table, from France, on the patio many years, was moved inside while redecorating earlier this year.

Thanks for that way to give testimony to a stressful, hot-dry period for plants, through saving them as ornament. very cool!
Do I have examples of heat-drought stress in the Desert SW? Countless examples...

What pretty shades of blue! And I absolutely adore every single chip of paint on your chair! wonderful.
Have a great day, Lynea
So many of mine turned brown in June.
Sadly, too hot this year. Even for them.
