This Week at The Acres: End of July Beauty July 31, 2016

August is almost here.  The gladiolas are still coming along.  I always complain about having to stake them so they don't fall over--and some of them do anyway--but they are such gorgeous flowers.  The phlox are coming in everywhere as well.  You need smell-a-vision to fully appreciate the phlox.  The morning glories have started as well.  And the hibiscus.  Of course, a few lily are still about.  One mystery this week.  When I go to Lowe's, I always go the sale racks in the back.  Earlier this year I found an iris on sale.  That was an easy buy.  But this week it started to bloom--in July of all things.  And the blooms do not look like an iris at all.  Something strange is going on.  Beautiful, but strange.
