Hipstamatic creates a sense of faded decay that is perfect for the desiccated stalks of these normally flourishing flowers. I don't think they will come back even if it rains for a week.
I've been looking at a lot of dying lawns and flowers here on 365 this evening... Wish I could share a little of what we've gotten! ("desiccated" well-chosen word that we don't see too often!)
It's been brutal that heat! I noticed my Coneflowers were looking a little peeked today. But there's a rain shower going on right now- so that will help the thirsty plants here.
