Sunny Summer Flower

This sunny, summer flower is one of many growing behind Dallas Academy, and I know they aren't common here.

Any gardeners know what these are called? I saw some in Texas many years ago, so I imagine they are drought tolerant.

WELCOME!

Selma is among the oldest cities in Alabama and has the largest contiguous historic district. It is known for its Civil War and Civil Rights history. The Battle of Selma was one of the last fought in the War Between the States, and the town was a center for the Voting Rights Movement in the 1960s. Today, with a population of about 20,000, Selma is the largest town in the western Black Belt region. The Black Belt, named for the color of its soil, stretches across Central Alabama from Mississippi to Georgia.
