Cool White on a Hot Day

     The local meteorologists have forecast a heat warning for today and sure enough, at mid afternoon, the thermometer has reached ninety-seven degrees and continues to rise. Those plants in my garden where the sun can reach have wilted in the heat but the shady areas are thriving. The hydrangea blossoms have recovered nicely from the recent multiple beatings of heavy rain, and the impatiens and hostas are flourishing because of the excess moisture. The use of multiple white blooms conveys an image of coolness and as a bonus they continue to be visible in the darkness of late evening.
