Soaring

My daughter's Wings of a Dream stole is coming along - not too far off from finishing the first wing.

Alas, no progress has been made on either my stole, Twinings, or my son's sweater, Cobblestone Pullover. But it's no worry about my son's, as he won't be able to wear it now in the Oklahoma summer heat. As long as it's finished by mid-October, all should be good.

The mystery little flowers in my front garden have popped open. I haven't a clue what kind of plant it is; all I know is that it comes back year after year, getting a bit bigger each time, and it's very forgiving of the Oklahoma heat. I do need to thin out a few of the cannas that are encroaching on it.

I love the way the bloom is shaped like a star before it actually opens.
