Stunning! Just stunning! You definitely have a gift for growing.

Thank you! Although, at this point, this summer, it's more of a benign neglect thing :) I do make sure they're watered.

Hey -- is that balloon flower a double? Mom mentioned something about that in the bouquet you guys left and she wondered if that's what it was.

[M Light]

Yes, it's a double, although not all the flowers end up that way.
