Okay, so I've spent far too much of my summer evening time watering these and other plants in my acre, but these are some of the most resilient plants in my yard. The rose of sharon lost a lot of leaves right after I planted it, but it has bounced back well and has produced a steady stream of flowers all along. The hydrangea wilts easily, but comes back just as quickly. And it has lived up to its name "endless summer."
I won't post any pictures of the plants that didn't fare as well--it's just too sad, but, I think the apple trees at the rear property line are done for, my painted fern is barely there, the cleomes have fizzled, the astillbes are hanging by a thread, and the bleeding hearts that were so beautiful this spring went totally beige and disappeared over the last several weeks. Sigh.
