Happy--

That yellow flower is a melampodium on steroids...aka :"Butter Daisy'..
Sally has them coming up all over and she gave me some starts.
I have them in more than one bed but this one (E. sun till 3PM) takes the prize.

I was expecting a nice, little clump--maybe 1' tall...OH, yeah??? How about 3'?
Never ever have I seen it grow so big! It ruined my idea of what this bed will look like.
Not alone--the Coleus have also taken over--everywhere I planted them...

Jeff--
Many of my Phlox are still blooming as well. Especially Jill's "Aunt Felicia's Phlox"
It just sends up new stems and blooms away. Awesome color!
