A pink evening primose stands out from a lot of green leaves in the background. Soft pink, cup-shaped blooms with yellow centers and distinct veining.
These pinkladies or pink evening primroses are showing up. They don't hate the 100F degree days in March like I do. #PhoenixGarden

After a scorcher week, this is what the freesia and irises look like now. And it's still going to be in the high 90s all week.

We've got some lovely purple phacelia crenulata and bright orange California poppies blooming right now. But we're gonna hit record 100 degree temps much of this next week, so all bets are off on what survives or thrives. I certainly won't be thriving in the unwanted early heat.

This dutch iris says, "Tulips?! You don't need no wimpy tulips. I'll take your 90 degree winter and thrive." #PhoenixGarden

Ugh. The tulips were growing slowly and now Phoenix is having a record breaking heatwave and unfortunately it's killing them before they can even bloom. #PhoenixGarden

A healthy looking cantaloupe plant with big green leaves and viney tendrils and yellow flower buds with a gray brick fence behind it.
A healthy looking watermelon plant with lots of green leaves climbing a metal tomato cage with a wood post and gray brick fence behind it.
Been plantsitting my uncle's cantaloupe and watermelon plants. He's more optimistic about their success in the Phoenix heat than I am without a drip system, but they're doing well so far. And they did not die on my watch! #PhoenixGarden

More Dutch irises from the garden. Luckily, it cooled back down to the low 80s and the irises approve.

A Dutch iris blooms, bright purple petals with canary yellow splotches, among green bulb leaves. A couple of leaves turning yellow on the ends from the heat.
The irises are trying to bloom, but they do not like the above 90F degree days this week. And neither do I. This beauty made it!
