The other iris in the stream has blossomed with deep purple (?) flowers. I hope the other one recovers.
I have a lot of weeding to do, but the okra and pepper plants I planted last week seem to still be alive. The rain gauge showed an accumulation of 1.5" over the past week. There was a severe storm warning in the area Friday morning, so most of that might have been collected over the past day or so.
Looking around the rest of the yard, the neighbor's pool is a nice green color. They appear to be out of town.
The foxglove behind the False Cyprus has bloomed nicely and the last two Asiatic lilies have bloomed.
The Irish and Scottish mosses I planted this spring are still alive and actually have some tiny flowers on them.
The hollyhocks by the east porch, the ones I thought would not survive due to their shaded environment, are doing well.
But not nearly as well as the ones on each end of T's rose bed. The east one, the one I started from seed, is actually blooming. The first to bloom. It is almost six feet tall.
Only one of the two carnations has survived.
The Virginia Sweetspire is blooming.
The Livingstone daisy is still looking OK, but has not spread much since I move it outside a couple weeks ago.
Interestingly, the leeks have sprouted seed pods...I think. I need to research these a bit.
Inside, the poinsettia looks OK, but is ready for a watering. The peace lily however looks critical. Hopefully it will recover.
