Glorious in the garden right now. It has its moments, and it definitely has its moments where nothing much is going on and there’s like two things in bloom and they’re being eaten by army worms or Japanese beetles but then there are these moments like this one in mid-August, when for a moment, it all comes together as if it knows I’m need of a post-July confidence boost.
