    Nice summer blooms.

    My Yarrow has been blooming for almost a month but the Canna and Crinum are not anywhere near ready to bloom. I have no idea what color the Crinum will be so I wish it would hurry up and show me.

    Toni... My Yarrow has also been blooming for a while. I added some yellow ones, but I don't think they are going to live. Been keeping my eye out for some more. The Cannas... well... what can I say about them... they seem to bloom year 'round. I'm tickled the Crinum's finally started to bloom. Everything seems so late this year.

    Philip... I planted some sunflower seeds. One is maybe 10 inches tall. From now own, I'll let the birds do the planting! :D
    Sounds like you're going to have a little Texas section in your garden. Can't wait to see how they do.

    Thanks everyone!
