Baptisia australis (false indigo) took 3 years to bloom in a good spot. Still enjoying the Peonies. And Pinks. Today I staked a bunch of Delphiniums about to bloom. 18 plants. Half are in my trial friction fit bamboo fence effort. 36C today. AC at 25.5C just right. #summerdry #gardening 🌱

Peak Allium giganteum with microjet rainbow. After replanting last year, Alliums back to full size -- 4' tall with 4-5 inch flowers. Instead of dozens of stakes, friction fit bamboo fence for Delphiniums. Clematis 'Blue Ravine' from UBC Botanical Garden. Happy here. #summerdry #gardening 🌱

Hunting spittlebugs and hollyhock weevils. Otherwise, a very lush garden with tall plants thanks to soil amendments. 4' Oriental poppies and 2' Icelandics, for example. 3' Siberian irises. As well, spring rains in southern BC were 150% of the old normal. Not tinder dry. #summerdry #gardening 🌱
