Color in a season of drought ....

It's dryer than a bone out there despite a few showers over the weekend, but still color in the museum garden as the lilies come into season.

Butterfly milkweed, too.

With coreopsis.

And lavender, lots of lavender --- a standby that actually prefers a degree of aridity.

You're welcome to stroll the museum grounds at any time --- and see if we manage to keep all of the planters watered during what may be a long hot summer.
