Friday night during the storm we rec'd 2 in. of rainfall in the rain gauge, we need a lot more. I just watered the plants that mean the most to me by sprinkling can..I saw the blackberry lily bloom for first time. Gosh, that is a small bloom but colorful. I have blooms on two of my tall garden phlox my church friend gave me a few years ago..I feel I have hit the jackpot seeing those bloom finally. More glads blooming from that Big Lot buy 2 yrs. ago. These two had blooms that were lavender and white..not the dark burgundy/fuchia color as the ones in the back flowerbeds.I think I also saw cherry brandy rudbeckia is about ready to pop a bloom..planted next to Liatris and Becky shastas, they are almost hidden.
