  5. I do love all those yellow ray flowers blooming at this time of year. I'm interested in your diagnosis of the Helianthus as stunted by the wet spring. We also had a very wet spring, and a number of my plants were both shorter and less profusely blooming this year.
    I'm glad to hear that your tradescantia have gotten settled in. We had an unusually warm, dry July in my garden and many of the tradescantia went dormant -- but Osprey seemed to fare better in these conditions than any of the others.
    I don't currently have a place for Virginia creeper -- or for Veronicastrum, which I covet. -Jean
