Summers are in to full effect with strong heatwaves in my region .Now the time has come to save the plants from direct harsh sunlight and strong heatwaves by keeping them in shaded area.While most of the houseplants can't take the summer heat in my region and are kept in shaded environment or if possible indoors only few of these hardy houseplants can withstand heatwaves and even strive in full sun with periodical irrigation

Although there are many varieties of Agave but these two varieties perform really well when our temperature touches 40 c mark in summer.The above one is Agave Angustifolia and below one is variegated variety of Agave Americana .
Variegated Agave Plant
Both types of Agave perform really well in hot summer days with added advantage of getting free plants in the form of puffs that appear from the root of mother plant.

We are in California and we have killed a number of bougainvillea. I think there's not enough sun and heat here.

Your Agave looks cool. I had given up hope on Agave as they are often heavily infested with mealybugs in my place. And these are often farmed by ants and the infestation does spread to other plants. Eventually the plant had suffered badly and died.
ReplyDeleteAlso the mean looking spiked leaves and I end up pricked while trying to clean the mealy bugs.
I've never been very good at plants in pots but yours seem to be very happy! Great sky shot, too :)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you took the time to share your world at 'My Corner of the World' this week! Thanks!
I live in Queensland in warm weather, so found this post interesting. Thanks. #teamlovinglife
ReplyDeleteHow your garden grows!
ReplyDeleteObviously agaves don't grow in Finland's cool climate, only in conservatories. But they are great ornamental plants, have admired them in Barcelona. Your white bougainvillea is spectacular <3 I have never before seen a white one. Thank you for this pleasure, wishing a great weekend.
ReplyDeletePretty sky shot! We get agave out here in the desert, too.
ReplyDeleteWe live in a relatively cool climate, but during the hot summer months of July and August I have to water every two days or my plants in containers wilt. - Margy
ReplyDeleteI have always had a fondness for agave with its interesting foliage and the Rhoe plants are pretty interesting too. Your last photo of the sky is stunning!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful flowers #kcacols@_karendennis

What an interesting plant, it looks a bit like my spider plant. I admit to not being very green fingered, I love flowers but always over or underwater everything! Thanks so much for linking up at #KCACOLS. Hope you come back again next time x
ReplyDeleteBougainvillea are very popular in Queensland, Australia. I see them everywhere up there. Makes sense
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful flowers and such lovely colours x #silentsunday
ReplyDeleteLovely plants. My patio doesn't get full sun unfortunately, but these are great ideas for those that do! #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteLove the different coloured leaves of that Rhoe. Not a plant I've come across before. Thanks so much for linking up at #KCACOLS. Hope you come back again next time.
