Our black-eyed susans are in full bloom:
We have six plants in total. The one on the left in the above photo was planted last year; the one on the right was planted back in May of this year. As you can see they produce many flowers, and keep flowering well into fall (since the flowers take a long time to die off, we had blooms even when the first snow fell last year).
Incidentally it was only 88F today outside, which is the first day this week that the temperature has not broken 90F. It was 98F on Tuesday!
We had the driveway resealed today as well. You may note it looks unusually clean and black in the above photographs.
