Anybody?

Everything that blooms late in my garden is starting to look awful after a summer's worth of drought. Even with watering it was a cycle of water and wilt. That has to be a stressor. Half of my own monk'shood have died or in advanced state of decline. I figured it was drought related. Even in other years with more rain, my monkshoods and tricyrtis start looking rather anemic by mid september

Bumping. Same thing happening this year, but we've had plenty of rain, at least until about 3 weeks or so ago. Wondering if something else going on.
