Maybe I should start a thread called "underwater gardening 101". Last night the backyard was completely submerged. This morning the rain is slower, but we're still wading in parts of it back there.

All the blooms -- roses, plumbago, hibiscus -- are tight-lipped with shock and refusing to open, or drooping with the weight of the rain. Only the impatiens continue to spread wide and smile, which is amazing for impatiens in June, really.

Here's La Folie des Chiots, currently a little cottage in our backyard, now surrounded by a lake. Its path is still underwater.
