Emerging

For some reason, there are fresh hollyhock leaves to be seen back by the old clothespole. Assorted mystery wildlife seedlings are appearing. Ranunculus greenery joins that of anemones. Tithonias are a bit untidy toward the bottom of the stalks, but there are some flowers. We see no all-yellow asclepias at the moment, but there are lots of the orange-red and yellow ones, all in pots. Mockingbirds are still busy with the Turk's cap fruits and the lantana berries. I thought I saw some Dutch iris leaves. For some reason, despite the quite cool weather, basil that has been dormant in the heat is putting forth new leaves.
