Remember the shriveled shrub on my front porch?

It has really recovered nicely!

We’ve watered it a bit more, but other than that, not much has changed. It even flourished through a few days of 100 temperatures. It’s only been in the 80s the last few days, which helps, too, I’m sure.

I’m glad I didn’t rip them out and attempt to return them. They are so pretty–especially up close.

I know we have about three months of summer yet, but I’m really hoping temperatures will continue to stay low. We have had an absolutely gorgeous spring and summer. Everything is so green–the grass is still alive, which hasn’t been the case this time the last two years.
