Summer in Arkansas can be a challenge when dealing with a young landscape. Root systems are not fully established, so a short drought of a little more than a week can take its toll. Not much time can be spent taking photos when there's always something that could use some watering.
Many cannas were irreparably damaged early-on, but most still managed to bloom.
The California Poppies enjoyed the harsh summer, but CG was not able to grow as many as he wanted...maybe next year.
Crepe Myrtles and most types of daylilys performed well.
