Wow -what a list!!!!
have added a Hellebore "Golden Discovery" as well as an unnamed one,
 variegated solomon seal, couple of heucheras and
 Echinaceia Hot Papaya - its in bloom now -starts out as orange, ends up as this great red w orange undertone.
Oh and Penstemon Blue Buckle
Clematis Henryii, and Alba Luxuriant
two Astilbes are really struggling, Bergenia "Bach" looks like it is about to kick the dust, Hosta Lakeside Looking Glass has one drooping 1 inch leaf, and Aconitum is as sick looking as anything I've ever seen.

Also, was given an unnamed  Pardemcanda couple of years age - sparse bloom last year, this year covered in blooms! Same thing with a Giant Yellow Spider Hemerocallis - truly striking.

Can't remember last time we had rain. Well, got about 8 drops (literally!) last week. Fortunately my newish garden is really small so I've been able to at least keep things mostly watered, but the heat has been a killer.
