It’s Wednesday and I haven’t done much beyond water what absolutely needed it and bitch about the lack of rain, but a few pretty things…

Plum Crazy

Kopper King

The mallow I didn’t pull out because I thought it was a weed.

The Patio Petunias. They are grateful, I think.

Surprise lilies

I pulled out the Bishops flower on Sunday (it was no longer blooming and starting to die off) and threw down som dwarf cosmos. Might not have time to bloom, but even green is better than bare ground. Sprouted in two days, I believe. Actually a few hours less. Yay, mulch!

Heliopsis (“yellow flowers”) will bloom if Charlotte doesn’t eat them.

Also found a cute Paraphidippus aurantius with a sharpshooter in her chelicerae, but that was Canon, not phone, and may upload later.
