When it does rain you can almost here the flowers say Ahhhhhh. They perk right up and look so much better than when I water. <br />What is the third plant? It is really pretty. Not to mention the biscuits look yummy!<br />Smiles,<br />DonnaThe Country Nesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08112325776944664677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2237620571891876574.post-28070983003645538402012-07-27T15:23:58.964-04:002012-07-27T15:23:58.964-04:00Hi, Karen!

I plant at my balcony the Malvas (on the package with seeds the same picture like your third flower photo), but now they look like your flowers on the second photo :o) Not Malvas, but still beautiful. How you call them? Hollyhocks?<br />Your biscuits look yummy and beautiful as well. <br />Love<br />NatashaNatalia Glazachevahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07051729726440906665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2237620571891876574.post-70373094136836452222012-07-27T11:51:42.727-04:002012-07-27T11:51:42.727-04:00You flowers are beautiful even though they need ra...You flowers are beautiful even though they need rain. We need rain too. They keep predicting it but it goes all around us. Finally we have a break in the heat and humidity today and tomorrow.

I think your picture might just have been the motivation I needed. Your hollyhocks are so beautiful! Thank goodness for the rain! My garden was parched, as I am sure was yours.

Spraying them was a big waste of time, I never had any problems with my flowers since I stopped doing it. Your day lily is a real beauty, your holly hock...sigh...I'm jealous, I don't have any :) and the third, I'm not sure what it is but it's very beautiful.

Your flowers are gorgeous! The color is ...Hi,Karen.<br />Your flowers are gorgeous! The color is a very summer.I hope you have rain soon!<br />Here in Japan, rainy season ended last week. Since then,it has been hot and humid. With growing concern of safety of atomic energy since last year's big earthquake, operations of almost all nuclear power plants in Japan have stopped. Instead, electricity has been supplied from thermal power generations.<br />I save power and am thinking about how I could survive this summer with minimal amount of electricity! Many, including me, have already received information of the planned periodical power outages from local power companies, which will avoid sudden blackouts. I have to be patient, but I am fine.<br />Your cheese biscuits look tasty!<br />Take care,Karen. Let's enjoy summer.<br /><br />Tomoko,Green Tomato.Tomokohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12489670893543758352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2237620571891876574.post-43151646504101736132012-07-25T20:39:17.931-04:002012-07-25T20:39:17.931-04:00I have heard (thru the grapevine) that talking to ...I have heard (thru the grapevine) that talking to the plants really help!

Hubby put a pail under the downspout and it was full so I used it. We definitely need a water barrel. So, I too, am being picky about what gets watered now.
