Good rescue job, Speedie!

I see the inchworm, Loretta, but don't know what it is....but I bet it's happy that you bought that Gerbera Daisy!

Gita, too bad about your Acalypha; maybe it'll come back after all.

Blooms from today:

1 - Veronicastrum virginicum (Culver's Root) and NOID Rose of Sharon
2 - Scutellaria incana getting another round of blooms. I love this plant...deer don't touch it, foliage is disease- and insect-free, pollinators flock to it and it blooms all summer when dead-headed.
3 - Silphium perfoliatum (Cup Plant)
