Garden Timeline – August Week 1

The past two weeks it has rained nearly every day and been unseasonably cool.  This has been great for the plants in the yard, both weeds and intentionals.  We have four things in bloom at the front of the house now.  Hydrangeas (which have been going since we walked in), a tall yellow thing that looks almost like a chrysanthemum (for about 2 weeks now), a tall hibiscus-looking thing (1.5 weeks?), and a pink thing (1 week so far).  There is also a viny crawling weed showing a pretty blue flower with yellow in the center.  I’ll have to do some research to actually name these plants.  Maybe post some pics as well.
