My gladiolus in front of the house are all doing well. We're getting a tropical storm this weekend and I suspect all of the flower stems will break during that.
Everything else is in the back in pots. The wildflowers are doing well. I had one pot survive the winter and that's constantly blooming. The newer things got ravaged by squirrels so I'm seeing what survived. I've admitted that the petunias are dead. I think it got too hot too fast for them. Everything else is doing okay but not great. The 100+ F temperatures haven't been doing anything any favors. My rosebush is deliriously happy and putting out new growth and flowers constantly. So far the caterpillars haven't found it this year.
