What's a blog without the eye candy? Here's some new shots! Once again, I've only been in this home for four years, so everything is still young and there is still a lot of moving things to be done.

| The showpiece of my east foundation bed, Summer Storm hardy hibiscus, standing at nearly eight feet tall! Throw in dinner plate-sized flowers and you've really got something. Also in this shot is one of its smaller rosemallow cousins that only grows to 3'. Hydrangeas are Lemmon Daddy and Cityline Venice. Groundcover is Snow on the Mountain, spotted Lamium, and some Vinca vines. |

| Close-up of Summer Storm hardy hibiscus flower (well above 6' fence height). These are killed to the ground each Winter, but re-sprout these thick stems each May and begin flowering in mid to late Summer. |
 |
| Limelight Hydrangea with Blazing Star (Liatris), scented Asiatic lilies, butterfly bush, etc. |
 |
| My young Vanilla Strawberry Hydrangea, with a slew of other perennials. |
 |
| This year's WINNER! Little Lime hydrangea. The photo does it NO justice. The foliage and flower color is simply AMAZING, much different than the traditional Limelight. These blooms will at least double in size by August. |
