All of this happened since the last time I walked, thanks to a couple days in the upper 90°s F. It looks like June everywhere now.
Plant of the Day
Friday 10 July 2026
The large deciduous shrub Kolkwitzia amabilis (beauty bush) is covered with flowers in early summer but in winter the beautiful peeling bark is a major feature. This plant needs a well-drained soil in sun or partial shade.
