So happy to hear you have an abundance of butterflies! I saw an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail pass through on Friday and you'd have thought I saw a flying saucer!

But unlike your well watered pretty plants that seem to be surviving, I have lots of brown leaves, curled foliage and real stress signs. I water and water, but don't have soakers and it's getting ahead of me. Your hot hot garden actually looks great, and the butterflies must think so too!Laurriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13657951570419825095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-6601592686384446392011-07-23T19:17:54.748-04:002011-07-23T19:17:54.748-04:00That is 46C?!!!

I bought it and 3 other rain barrels from http://www.rainbarrelsource.com/. My 5th rain barrel came from a local garden center.

I also have mist flower and it is not blooming. I guess I have to look at your blog to see blooms because things are not blooming here. :/ Does Big Daddy have any rain. I would like to get a rain barrel. We definitely need rain in order for it to be useful.
