Jeanne, I will probably get an immediate mood boost with rain and cooler temperatures. I hope you get relief soon as well. The Collinsonia is new to me too, and it's named after Peter Collinson (1694-1768), who I had just read about in the book “The Brother Gardeners” by Andrea Wulf (highly recommended). Collinson was a botanist, gardener, and horticulturist, a member of the Royal Society, and a great friend of the renowned plantsman John Bartram!
Fingers crossed for rain and change
Thank you Bel!
Feeling the same way, Paul, and eagerly anticipating fall. Thank you for introducing me to richweed!
