They have started planting the 50 trees for 50 years.  As you can see we are experiencing drought and hot weather.  Not the best time to plant trees, I hope they will be watered deeply.

This gray-headed coneflower was blooming amid the bergamot in the meadow.

The sprinklers are watering the wetland, which was newly planted.

This blue vervain is blooming in the wetland, though I suspect it was an escapee from our meadow, and appreciates the wetland watering.
