I have a really hot porch as my house faces the afternoon sun. So, those plants that you see me feature from my porch are really good heat-tolerant plants. Impatiens walleriana is one of them.
The snaps before and after surviving the hot afternoon is shown in the video. The pic below was snapped two days before.
By 5:00PM, the plant looked like it was going to die after a very hot day. I pour a little water into the pot and left it there for it to revive and it did as usual. In the morning it was perky again :)
At another corner of my porch, I was delighted to see the first bloom coming from a cutting that I have left to root in a pot.
This white trailing rose has indeed been really strong. It has withstood the hot weather for almost a week now. The petals just curled back and were not scorched by the blazing hot sun.
The other plant that can really endured the heat is the spider tresses. The shrub is currently throwing out a lot of blooms.
An orchid that I do not know the name was flowering again. The flower was pale purple at first but the colour got stronger over a day.
Glad to see this happenings even when the weather is dry and hot.
