The echinacea is doing well, and the black-eyed Susans are filling in and will be the main attraction for the remainder of summer. There are a few dwarf crepe myrtles, some waning bee balm and daisies, and two butterfly bushes. The coreopsis has gone to seed and the roses are either done blooming, or near to being done. The obedient plants are coming out, but don't bloom until the end of the season. For the ones who enjoy the heat (the Susans especially), today is a good day.
