About the only plants that haven't recovered from the eccentric weather earlier in the year are the azaleas, which haven't produced a single blossom, and the peach tree, which still has only two small fruits on it.
But a volunteer plant I've never been able to identify is thriving. I think it might be some sort of lamb's ear. It has thick, blue-grey leaves and small flowers of a deep, vivid shade of red. Last year there were only a few of these plants, but they are spreading. Four big ones produced flowers this year, and each of them is surrounded by several smaller plants that are still hugging the ground and not putting out flower stalks. If I had a functioning camera I'd post photos of this plant, and maybe someone would be able to identify it. It's really taken a liking to my yard, so it will probably be around for some time.
One plant I could do without is the nettle. Portia came home with dozens in her fur this evening. I'm not sure where she went to find them, but the house on the corner where she has gone bird hunting in the past has been vacant for a couple of months, so its yard might be running wild. If that's the case, I'll probably be combing nettles out of her fur for the rest of the summer. I only managed to get a couple dozen of those she had tonight. She's chewed many others out herself. That can't be pleasant, but she refuses to have her underside combed, and snaps at me when I try. I expect some pretty nasty hairballs to be coming soon.
