Ok

Love the combination of Forsythia and bulbs! (Tulips and daffodils) After spring colors, the Forsythia is a great green back ground for summer bloomers(daisys, purple cones, black eyed susans, drawf sun flowers) Add texture with birch trees and 10-15" high mounds to display rock collection with sedum and chicks 'n hens)
