I’d thought the only thing lazier than I am might be my purloined jewelweed, but I finally got to see a bloom. I know there have been other blooms because I’ve found several seed pods, but every time I’d go down there, I’d see nothing but green. Hopefully, my MLBs had better luck. Anyway, a flower is a flower!

I still don’t know what this is, but it’s the green mystery tree out front. I’d actually given up on ever seeing a bloom–most trees bloom in spring and early summer, not in mid-July–but if it has some kind of flower, it’ll be easier for me to ID than “green tree with leaf-shaped leaves” for sure!

This is the rosemallow, and I do think it’s going to bloom. On the 6th of June, they arrived as 5″ sections of root, so dry that I messaged the seller. I’d have been happy if they’d only grown, so if even one blooms, I’ll be ecstatic!

This is the Creme Caramel. Looks much like whatever the coreopsis in the other bed is called, but it’s pretty, so I’m not upset.

This one is Creme Brulee, and it looks like any other light yellow coreopsis, but again, it’s pretty and I love coreopsis, so I’m not going to complain.

Getting less micro-grass-y every day. Cooler weather this week should help, too. Hope it helps the seeds I planted Monday night as well.
