Sometimes the Russian Mammoths just get too tall and gangly looking. The Mottistone lettuce looks gorgeous. I'm always looking for slow-bolting varieties, as our summer can be cool one minute, and hot the next. I might have to try this one! Your Rudbeckias made me a little sad though. After leaving them alone for months, the deer came by a few nights ago, and ate every single flower. Nipped them right at the top of the stalks! They were so pretty too.

What a great sunflower. Bet it's fun to watch the birds visit that one. My Bugbane has not bloomed in two years. I moved it this past spring and it seems to be doing better in the new spot but no gorgeous flower spikes like yours (sigh).
