| Heliopsis |
The first three weeks of June brought constant cool, cloudy weather and rain. I don't ever remember it being this cool through the first three weeks of June in this area. Now we are suddenly thrust into the high 90's because of the heat dome that is covering much of the country. Yesterday we got up to 101, with lower humidity than normal for this area. Almost feels like Phoenix. We had three days without rain, and now today the rain is back. We are certainly out of the drought we have been in for the first part of the year.

| Monarda |
There are three monarda or bee balm plants in one of the gardens, but only one bloom so far. I started this new post yesterday, and the weather has changed drastically. Today clouds, drizzle and rain with temps in the 60's! I wish the weather would settle and stay warm and sunny.

| Wild Strawberry |
There are several wild strawberry plants that have been growing in the large back garden for a few weeks now.
 |
| Russian sage |
Several Russian sage bushes in a grouping in the back yard are just starting to bloom.
 |
| Iris |
I found one lone iris blooming in the back yard after all the others have already bloomed.

| Pansies |
These pansies I planted in one of my deck pots last year. It sat through the cold and snows of winter, and the pansies slowly came back this spring. I have left these pansies to see how long they would last. Since it has been so cool and rainy in May and June they are still hanging on. Even through the three 90 to 101 days we just had. Overall, I think the gardens look somewhat anemic this year possibly because of the unusually cool, wet May and June we have had.
