My wife Barbara, gave me a mini bouquet of Dill buds (most the flowers were not open) that literally looked like tiny yellow balls on needle thin sticks. The whole plant was only 12" high - which is about 20% of our usual 5 foot high plants? They started drooping almost immediately.

Beautiful James!
The intense heat and humidity have made most of my flowers really "show off"!
An unusual plant but extremely gorgeous in macro!

Thanks Dan. Around here the plants are growing more aggressively than I can ever remember. Meadows are shrinking, and grasses and other usually low height undergrowth are much taller this year. However, this Dill plant was the opposite?

I agree James!
My "balloon" flowers are growing exceptionally fast in this intense heat and humidity. Problem with the fast growth is that a few "stages" of the flowers is being missed due to lack of water and the intense heat/humidity!
