The rebloom is upon us. Most of our Montana native flowers don’t favor our hot, dry summers. They tolerate them, but either reduce or entirely cease blooming as a survival tactic. As the heat wanes and longer nights drag themselves over the days, the flowers stir again and eagerly put forth blossoms.
This is the last hurrah.
In
the narrow strip of soil between the approach to my garage doors, we have
encouraged several native plants to flourish. In the last few weeks, as the
mornings and evenings have cooled, three of these have roused for the rebloom:
Gaillardia, gumweed, and flax.
