End of July and Weird Weather Continues

It's July 31st and the weather continues either with downpours or extreme heat. The gardens look weather-beaten with sunburned hostas (if they were not eaten by deer) and hairy mold on the impatiens.  The petunias are gone, whether to insects or extreme weather I cannot tell. There is nothing left to investigate.  No leaves, no buds--just some stems.

But the wildflowers on the hillside are doing well.

Queen Anne's Lace

Black-eyed Susans

Grasses

Blue-eyed Grass?

A foxglove?  It seems impossible in this weather...

Wild Indigo

Common fleabane

Boneset with yellow or Pale Jewelweed

Coreopsis

and some blooms too small to capture easily in the wild:  hop clover, St. John's Wort, Bird's Foot Trefoil, Smartweed, and

Quite a variety and display despite the weather. 

But they are natives!
