The Other Verbena

I'm too hot to post anything very spectacular today. I'll just show you the other Verbena in my flower beds. Verbena stricta, Hoary Vervain. It starts blooming at the bottom of the flower head and work its way up to the top (the most common pattern).

I mentioned last year (link below) that a couple of these had reappeared, having gone missing after years of not weeding that garden. This year there are lots, and I've even dug some up to give away. They are popping up all over and I move the little ones to places I want them.

This is a wildflower- I dug this out of a ditch years ago.

I managed a tiny bit in the gardens today, and watered everything. It's supposed to rain Thursday, but things were looking wilty.

Did a fair amount of editing, and a lot of reading and trying to stay awake. Even though it's not as hot as a couple of days last week, I had a hard time today.
