The Rudbeckia are doing just fine!
The Buddleia are a little short and pale, but holding forth in the heat.
The Zinnias love the heat more than
the 6 inches of rain in the past 2-3 weeks.
The Hellenium is sparse but blooming.
The Helianthus are still upright and prolific.
I found a single, pale Hydrangea bloom
hidden in the middle of the bush under many leaves.
We are in another official heat wave this week.
But the 'Limelight' Hydrangea blooms are spectacular.
Summer is right on time despite the heat--
and Fall is fast approaching.
