Hot weather but with red flowers

No, I am not logged in to WordPress to discuss the yays and nays of global warming but I do have to say that today’s warm weather in the Atlanta, GA area is an improvement over the last week or so – we’ve had a heat index of over 100 degrees F for days – arghh!
This means that asphalt parking lots turn into virtual tar pits that wilt my face off (and I mean that almost literally!)
So as an offering to the asphalt gods, I want to share with you this flower photo taken by my daughter Maya.
It’s a little beauty she discovered blooming and posing prettily in the steam of a restaurant parking lot in the Atlanta area – and the plant seems to be soaking up our excessive heat with nary a wilt much better than I (a native of Georgia) ever could!
Looks like an impatiens to me – you?
