My garden is really exploding with blooms! This strange looking flower is called Cleome, and in the heat of the sun the open petals curl right up, leaving just the crown of yet to open petals. It keeps growing up and up, ending only at frost. It is nominally an annual, but it reseeds vigorously, so put it where it can keep regrowing for years, or you'll be weeding the seedlings out forever!

The Cleome is a neat looking flower. Purple flowers are so pretty. I had a Clematis and some morning glories which were the dark dark purple. They were beautiful. Lack of water or rolly pollies must have killed the Clematis. The morning glories did not come back the next year, either.
