Back in January I had had enough of my neighbors and set out to create some sort of visual boundary. I planted three Formosa azaleas in large containers and promised pictures when they began to bloom. Yesterday I looked out my kitchen window and saw some vibrant purple blooms some 100 feet away. Today I trekked back there and took some pictures.
I also have been promising pictures so here are some various shots from around my property. The second picture is to the right of my front door. I found this amazing japanese maple with a braided trunk and have decided to leave it containerized and added a breckman arborvitae and some gold mound spirea along with some annuals and perennials. The next picture is near the lower driveway and its a collection of shade lovers-ferns, heuchera, spirea, hydrangea, daylilies, and confederate jasmine on a trellis. Below that is the view of our creek bed from the street- oh so pretty in the spring! And the last picture is a view of the lower creek bed that I am "naturalizing." This piece of wood washed up the last time it flooded and I am slowly adding plants to improve its appearance while maintaining my Backyard Wildlife Habitat standing.
