This picture of Hibiscus cocineus blossoms was taken after three weeks of temperatures in the 90's with breezy conditions. The rain garden plants were looking a little 'fainty'. On Monday of this week, with heavy clouds seeming to almost touch the earth, we received 3/4" of rain. The next morning I was able to snap this shot. The rain garden plants miraculously perked up and remain that way on Friday morning. Careful selection of your plant materials should produce a garden that looks good spring, summer, fall and winter.
