It is a chilly morning.  Temperature is 15 degrees below our average which proves to me we would have this when we had so many days above the average this month.  We needed this to make the average come out.  Larry moved the wagons for me so I could water on the black top.  I still need to do something with the plants but keeping them alive is ok for now. Temperature at 9:00 AM is 57 F(14C). high today of only of 73F(22C), average temperature is 82F. All I can say is enjoy.  Stay safe.
 
Australia family and friends for their August 27 Wed. is rain during their nighttime, and high today 65F(17C) It is warming up for them.  It looks like it’s rain all day.  They told me they could use the rain.  Stay dry, stay warm, stay safe.
 
Pictures you see are from the Sale Botanic Garden.  Very interesting bloom that is for sure.  Native plant for them.  Love to see all the different plants.  I know you do too.  Also, I have another listing of perennial's plants to deadhead.  Great weather to do those things.

Pictured is Epacris Species, Fuchsia Heath, Native Fuchsia (Epacris longiflora) or more commonly known as the common heath or Erica with another variety, the pink heath being Victoria’s floral emblem.
Ericas are native to Australia and are found growing in the southeastern states ie Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and New South Wales.
 
Here is more perennials how to deadhead: 
Plant name   Botanical name       Cold zones    Will it rebloom?      Tips
Cardinal flower       Lobelia cardinalis    3-9      Yes      Cutting down spent spikes 2 to 3 in. from the ground will sometimes promote a small rebloom; short-lived so allow a few seeds to ripen or ground layer a stem or two
Catmint         Nepeta spp. 4-8      Yes      Cut stems down to 2 or 3 in. after flowering to keep plant looking neat; may or may not reflower after deadheading; deadheading will prevent reseeding
Columbine    Aquilegia spp.          3-8      Yes      Snip off spent flowers to side stems to keep columbines blooming; cut entire stem to the ground when finished; allow some seedheads to ripen to ensure replacement plants
Coral bells     Heuchera hybrids   4-8      Yes      Cut flowering stems below the low mound of foliage as they finish; deadheading will extend the flowering and sometimes promote a smaller second flowering
Daylily           Hemerocallis hybrids        3-10   Yes      Snap off spent flowers as they wilt to keep the later flowers as large as possible; once the stem is finished, cut it to the ground; some cultivars rebloom, others do not
Delphinium  Delphinium elatum            3-7      Yes      Pinch off spent flowers along the stems; cut the finished spikes to a leaf bud to encourage smaller side shoots; cut to basal foliage when all flowers are done; often reblooms
Dianthus       Dianthus gratianopolitanus         3-9      No       Some cultivars reseed, so deadhead as soon as the flowers fade; remove spent stems but leave the clump of foliage
Foamflower Tiarella spp. 4-9      Yes      Some will rebloom after deadheading; cut or pinch off entire stem down into the low mound of foliage to improve appearance
Foxglove       Digitalis spp. 3-8      Yes      Pinch off individual flowers along the stem; remove stems to the basal rosette of leaves when most of the flowers are finished; may rebloom later with smaller flowers; may reseed
Gas plant      Dictamnus albus     3-9      No       Cut seedheads down to foliage after flowering, or leave star-shaped seedpods for late-season interest; will not reflower with deadheading; can reseed
Gaura Gaura lindheimeri  5-9      Yes      Flowers much of the summer without deadheading on stems that just keep branching; cut out stems that have bloomed to reduce reseeding; cutting encourages more branching
Geum Geum hybrids         5-9      No       Can flower much longer with deadheading; cut spent flowers back to budded side branches; later remove the entire stem to the low mound of foliage
Globe thistle            Echinops ritro          3-9      Yes      Cut spent flowers to a side branch to keep the plant flowering as long as possible; cut entire stems to basal foliage when finished; late rebloom with smaller flowers
Goldenrod    Solidago spp.           5-9      Yes      Deadhead first and largest flowering back to healthy foliage to promote smaller second flowering from side buds; cut all seedheads to prevent reseeding
