Shaken not stirred

Things EXPLODED in the heat we had today. Some plants relished the strong sun. The tomatoes, clematis and lambs ears I swear doubled in size today. The containers however withered and looked rather parched. True to their form however the cosmos went wild!

I am actually excited to come home from work tommorrow night to see if my rose has bloomed (it is just sooo close) this is the ausblush heritage rose that I adore.. such a pale pink with a wonderful fragrance.
