And, here are the beds with their new occupants…we’ve added 2 holly trees (at the far right end and middle of the right side), pink knock out roses, and gardenias. Â We nixed the hydrangea idea when I realized I could do gardenias.
I love gardenias!
We also added hosta behind the japanese maple…it had always looked so barren back there, and now it’s gonna be green and beautiful!
I’m so anxious to see those blooms open up! Â I know it looks sparse now, but our landscaper planted sparingly, to allow for growth through the years. Â When we first moved here, the plants were CRAMMED in and completely overgrown. Â Don’t wanna do a repeat of that.
And, one of the best parts? Â He said we could chop at those roses however we wanted and they wouldn’t die.
Not that we ever would.
Ahem.
And, he also gave us a 1 year warranty on all the plants.
So, they’re safe for the time being…

Lookin’ good!! I see you have a Japanese Maple…we have 2 in our backyard, which is their 4th spring and they are doing well…beautiful!! We also have hostas and lillies all around them and our bridge running through the middle.
Now you’ve got some flowers to look forward to see blooming…and enjoy some great fragrances!!!! I can see some roses in vases in the Clark LR soon!
