My Mist Flowers are blooming nicely, but haven't been for long. I sure wanted to get down to south TX this year to see the migration. A busy October is keeping me away this year. Also my Niece's little one will turn 5yrs old this weekend and I can't miss that. He is my sudo-DGS! Since I don't have any G kids my Sister said I could share. LOL!

Glad you guys have had rain and it's perking up everything down there. We have had some heavy rains already today and the cold front isn't even through here yet.
This is what my lower part of my back yard looked like this evening before dark. I had to wade through it and lift a section of fence to keep debris moving. That dropped the level about 4 " so it helped some. As long as the rain is slow we don't have a problem but this was about 30 minutes of hard rain. The bed on the right is actually about 16" tall. Glad I take my caterpillars inside and keep the chrysalis inside, otherwise I would be worried they all washed away. I just put mulch on a fence bed back there and it is suppose to be the no-float type; but I dare say it would stay in place with running water.
