No thunderstorms, in fact, no rain of any kind yesterday, which was nice for fireworks and not so great for the gardens. Maybe it’ll be another rainless summer, all humidity, no real precipitation.

Gardener’s Diary
The mystery plant with the bowl-shaped yellow flowers is an Evening Primrose, also called a Sundrop (Oenothera fruticosa, var. Youngii).
It’s been tough to ID because it’s a different variety of Evening Primrose than most nurseries sell – it flowers in the day, and it has long stems, as opposed to the short, woody type that only grows about six inches high.
Better Than Anything
Yesterday, Bob and I went fishing. I’d wanted to do something special with him before he starts his summer term after the Fourth of July, and that had been his request.
