Ruellia loves the heat and I love the blooms and leaf form and would be absolutely 100 percent OK with its localized spreading tendencies if the birds didn't end up spreading it everywhere. E. VER. Y. WHERE. If you do dig some out, when the teensiest bit of root breaks off (and it nearly always does) it comes right back. It takes patience.<br /><br />But. I'm stubborn as they come and I'm convinced I can have my Ruellia and enjoy it too as long as I keep it back in our "wilderness" areas further from the organized beds. I've got several clumps targeted to dig out after it cools down a bit so if you want to come get some? Be my guest! <br /><br /><br />TexasDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214888876514137890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859291696897577217.post-59449289914841681772014-09-01T07:47:39.003-05:002014-09-01T07:47:39.003-05:00Debra: A random late 1/2" rain is what trigge...Debra: A random late 1/2" rain is what triggered that lush look. We just happened to be under the right clouds at the right time. For once. <br /><br />I really like that: "sure signs of cool mercy on the way". I think August will always feel a bit brutal even if the temperatures are a bit moderate as they were this year. We all get in a big hurry for the cooler days to come and yet I'm always sad to see summertime close up shop.TexasDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214888876514137890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859291696897577217.post-10582502486057604692014-08-31T21:34:10.442-05:002014-08-31T21:34:10.442-05:00It looks wonderful (and so weeded!).

I have so many "challenging" spots I'm tempted to plant a bunch of ruellia to fill in the spaces.. <br />The plumerias also look wonderful!Toni Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03747347910632489330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859291696897577217.post-74384208624216842342014-08-31T20:19:51.852-05:002014-08-31T20:19:51.852-05:00Ooh, looking forward to seeing the changes and to ...Ooh, looking forward to seeing the changes and to more evidence of fall. Felt a slight breeze this week and spotted lacewing eggs ...two sure signs of some cool mercy on the way. August felt brutal this year yet your space looks green and lush.

I love your overhead shot--it's a really cool way to look at a garden. It is always about revamping a garden, isn't it? Priorities change, light and weather conditions notwithstanding, gardens are organic--they don't "stand still" in part because the gardener is always changing and evolving. At least, that's the hope! Onward through the seasons!Tinahttp://www.mygardenersays.comnoreply@blogger.com
