How does my garden grow?

I couldn't help but take my camera outside this morning after that MASSIVE thunderstorm we had in the middle of the night.  I knew my plants would be happy, and they were.

 Hydrangea; which this year is more purple-pink then in the past

 This is the yellow rose plant my dad gave me for SW month; its really flourishing! Thanks to

Nevena Damjanov for the excellent suggestions on how to keep it healthy!

Massive 'mater plants and a few other containers...

 Roma tomatoes...dripping

Cherry Tomatoes

 MASSIVE butterfly bush

More 'maters...can't WAIT for them to ripen and to cook with them!

I've also got herbs: basil, thyme, dill and lavender.  There are red and yellow peppers that are just beginning to flower.  There are also lots of annuals, petunias, impatients, snap dragons and marigolds.  Finally, the *red* sunflowers are growing EXPONENTIALLY...and so are the weeds...meh.
