It's been stupid hot recently.  I hate it.  At least the hot part of summer didn't hit until July this year.  On the first of July I planted some cotton seeds in a pot, just to see if they would do anything.  One tried to do something.

Toothpicks so I know where the seeds should be

That was on July 5th.  One little bugger was all sorts of eager to get growing!

One day later!

Holy crap, this is amazing!  One day and it went from small to rather big.  Yay!!

Rain drops are nice

Some epic rains on July 7th that really didn't drown any of my plants.  I figured the bit of rain it got would be fine for it's speedy growth.

So tall!!

I was gone on the 8th, so I missed a day, but that's okay, it grew a bit so it was towering over the toothpick.  For the next 8 days it didn't really get any taller, so I didn't take any more pics.  Was waiting for more leaves to appear.  That didn't happen...

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The evening of the 16th it was fine, but the morning of the 17th I was greeted with this horrible sight.  The only difference in all that time was that the 15th through now was 100 everyday.  Kinda on the horribly hot side.  Some of my flowers were a bit wilty, but not like this.  I watered poor little cotton anyway, but I haven't see him bounce back.  :(

To end on happier note, here is a picture of a sunflower, with some sort of bug.

Taken with a real camera!
