The stars of August are the sunflowers. While many of the other plants have struggled through hot weather, they have thrived. I planted these from seeds and am amazed that they have done so well. My other sunflower varieties have not yet bloomed. I don't know if they are just late bloomers or if they have gone into some kind of decline (or are on strike) because their cousins have been so stunning. Whatever, I hope they get over it.
