The lack of rain is starting to show it's effects on some of my perennials as well. The blossoms aren't lasting as long and the plants are starting to droop. A couple of things are actually starting to look like they are going to die. Fortunately, perennials are fairly hardy and it takes a lot to do damage to most of them. Here are a few pics from the past couple weeks.
The rubekia is giving a splash of colour all over the garden!

Not the best photo, but after about five years, this monk's hood finally decided to bloom!! The other one still has not!
Columbine seed pods . . . once again, I just let them do their thing, so there will be lots of little white columbine around next year!
Tiger Lily, the last lily to bloom this year.
Happy to see new growth on this clematis, it started off really nicely this year and then died back almost to nothing, but growing nicely now.
Despite the powdery mildew problem on my phlox, they are all doing remarkably well!

They are starting to look a little ragged, but these echinacea have lasted for a LONG time!
