Goddesses..teach me how to be so beautiful!

The goddesses of my autumn garden. Mophead Hydrangeas. I couldn't be happier with them.

East Eden


The East garden at the front of the house. I plan to add a lot of spring bulbs to this garden, growing up through sedums that are there year round. They will bloom about the same time as the pink flowering dogwood tree. This young tree may take a few years to bloom though. I will also have Fairie's Wands planted up near the front door. I already planted the dark red peonies to the left of the rock in the photo...they look pretty sad but I don't doubt them for a second. They will be the stars of this garden come June!

Delicious Diablos


Two new robust black shrubs have been added to my garden! These are ninebarks, named Diablo...yum. A housewarming gift from my mom. More like a "thank god this move is over" gift. I'm excited to see how these will work with what is already planted. They look delicous to me, and will provide a good backdrop to anything that blooms pink!
