Catching up on pictures -- I've got lots of them

This is in the front yard right by the garage door. Teresa's friend LeAnn was thinning out her irises, and gave them away. Teresa knew I would want them. I drove right over to their work and picked them up. Marissa and I planted them. They will be purple. Look at the beautiful red tulips next to the yellow daffodils. I just love them!

This is my other forsythia. Since I didn't get the yellow blossoms I'll just type in yellow.

This is a viburnum allegheny. It is the biggest shrub I bought. It is supposed to get really big. I put it in the corner by the bathroom window. It has plenty of space to grow and won't block anything.

I planted 6 butterfly bushes back here. This is one of them. They break dormancy late, so we'll see. 4 of them were only 50 cents each so not much was spent for them.

Here we have a variegated willow. When I bought this last fall it was so beautiful with delicate leaves and branches that swayed in the wind. I put it right outside on of the living room windows so I could see it from the house.

Here are the remains of my hostas that died when we got that awful two week deep freeze in early April. I think I lost all of my hostas. The shade garden is deemed a failure.

To be honest I'm not sure what this is. I think it is another of the butterfly bushes.

This is one of two burning bushes planted on the side of the house. I bought them in the fall and they were green, but then they did "burn" with red leaves before winter set in. I love burning bushes.

Here's my nikko blue hydreangea. Looks like a bunch of sticks, but it is supposed to have beautiful blue flowers this summer.

My rhododendron is going to bloom soon!
