As soon as the weather warmed up, the plants started growing. Being occasionally submerged did not seem to bother them much – in fact, they seemed to enjoy the experience.

As you can see, there’s little resemblance to that mud hole. The lupines started flowering in May, followed by the tufted hair grass, then the paprika yarrow, then the daylillies. Some dwarf asters should finish off the flowering season in fall.
