Surprised me this morning with its opening but these extremely hot days we've been having pushed it to bloom. It is a new planting that Debra sent me in the spring so Rouen Cathedral returns to my garden. The color is washed out compared to what it looked like for me in NY. Glad to have a piece back. Thanks Debra. Thunderstorms last night so we got got some much needed rain and a brief cool down. Temps heading back up again today with rain predicated for most of the coming week.
