There is a fruiting shrub known as Phalsa plant or Grewia asiatica which has some beautiful flowers with much more tastier tangy ,sweet berries

Thank you for this wonderful list of lovely flowers that can grow in the heat. Here in Alberta, we have hot summers and cold winters, and I am hoping to grow some of these beauties this year. I'm not a good gardener, but every few years I try again!
