More drought damage – these Echinaceas
should be in full bloom. Instead, most
of the blossoms are stunted, petals a third their normal length. On others,
the entire flower head has died off – at least the plant itself is not dead and
if we continue to get a bit of rain these side flowers may bloom.

One of the saddest sites (along with the
rudbeckia) is the Joe Pye Weed. It
should be in full bloom right now.
Instead, I have this: Again, the stalks at least are green so I’m
hoping all is not lost for future years.
