I snapped this first image in front of a large rental property in downtown Evanston. It illustrates what I said in previous post about Serviceberries drying out so that even the fruit was a bust.
Below is a beautiful surprise from the heat and warmer, longer growing season. These poppies resurfaced after years...but this client waters her garden. We didn't know they were there when I placed the Canna (that she overwinters in Greenhouse), but it's a lovely combination.
Otherwise, it is due to reach 100 degrees by Thursday and there is no rain in sight. When you drive past the Lindens, the ground is littered in their yellow seeds....are they putting out more progeny in case they don't survive?

How awful. I don't understand how it could be so dry there since we've been having rain. I always think of our weather coming from you in the mid west.
Our weather now often from the Gulf. And then it heads North, not East to you.
Our silver maple went crazy putting out seeds this spring. I figured it thought it was going to die. I am watering everything — even old trees — at this point, esp. since we don't have any restrictions on water. Everyone's grass crunches when you walk on it. A funny sound and strange sensation.
