Storm!

I wanted rain for the garden and by golly I got rain along with some hail and high winds! But the garden finally got some rain and things look a little less parched this morning. I know I was getting tired of lugging water jugs all over the place so today I get a break...yah! Here's a little picture of the only lightening I could catch on camera. It went on for a few hours. I was just happy that the 90 degree temps we had been experiencing for the last few days were over.

My tiny patch of poppies is just popping out all over. What a shame that they look so good for a few hours then just disintegrate like they were made of tissue paper. Regal to shabby *sigh* in hours. And then there is the "no name" plant my girlfriend Julie gave me last year. It's been in her grandmother's garden for years and now that Julie inherited the property she has been updating things like the water pump and pipes and in the process had to transplant a few of the old garden girls. She knew I loved this plant and so she divided it up and brought me a little for my garden. They seem similar to a Stella D'Oro, same kind of tubers that multiply each season. But no one I have shown them to knows what they are called. If you have any idea please let me know!
