Wow. I think that’s the longest I’ve ever gone without blogging. But it’s been busy ’round here — and too hot to shoot pix or even sweat over the keyboard. Apologies. I think I’m acclimated now, as the upper 80s today didn’t seem all that bad.
Here are a few pix, most from at least a week or so ago. Can’t get to many umbells.
Achillea ‘Terra Cotta’ (if I recall correctly).

I nice creamy yellow Digitalis. Don’t know the species or cultivar.
