Survey

In bloom, besides the potted nasturtiums and geraniums and milkweed, we find thyme, lantana again, sweet peas (more), red poppies, bachelor buttons, delphinium, scarlet runner beans, cypress vine, and purple morning glories with red veins. We've had barely a pink evening primrose but lots of blue dayflowers. We still have firewheels and black-eyed Susans. Some of the fennel is blooming. Oak flowers are done; pecan flowers can be smelled on the air but only a few have been pollinated and dropped. Four o'clocks are very strong in scent mornings when there's lots of humidity. Verbascum (cultivated mullein) is in bloom.
