This pretty iris appeared today. Sarah said she planted it last year, beside the front porch so I could easily water it. She said it needs a lot of water.
In fact it has received next to none. It's surrounded by day lilies, which get minimal water from me. I'll be more diligent going forward. It's such a lovely flower on a long stalk.
The small local nursery has no milkweed. The nice man sitting in a chair just outside the door said he had tried three or four suppliers without any luck. He said that seems to happen every three or four years.
There has been gentle thunder rumbling for the past hour. Somewhere, it is raining, just not here.
