Haven't posted in a while, but many new plants have been purchased... Some are doing better than others. For some reason, a couple of my coneflowers and 1 blackeyed susan is struggling and needs watering almost every day! the shrubs too, are needing a lot of H2O - probably owning to the fact we've gone 14 days without any significant rain!

Here's some pics (not of my actual specimens, but... you get the idea)

Purple Smoketree
Verigated Euonyomus

Dappled Willow




Mugo pine

















viburnum summer snowflake


viburnum carlesii

Discoveries

So, when I moved in, there was a lonely clematis that survived, but barely. Last year, it got leaves, but no flowers, this year, FLOWERS! YESTERDAY, they started to open and they are medium purple!!!!!!!!!!


Also, my sweet William is fuchsia. I love discovering new things from the things around me everyday!

Spring has Sprung!







Colors are everywhere and the plants are doing well. Hopefully a little extra watering will get those seeds a-germinatin' and the roots a springing forth!
