Oops, the tree's to the left...here's another.

ES is a cornerstone to my front yard.

Do the slideshow. Photoshop rocks.

ES and Sister Teresa, July 2007

Fabulous color and grouping, thx. Interesting, mine are a light blue.

That beatiful.I wish I could get mine to bloom that dark.

Thats stunning , did you add something to get it that dark?

No, I didn't add anything.
Just an effect from being planted in my native soil-clay with 5.6-5.7 pH.
Interesting to note that pH in this particular, unamended area of the large border has a fairly constant pH from year to year, while in a more man-made areas of the same border it fluctuates by 0.3-0.4 (from 5.7 to 6.1.) from one year to another. Go figure.

Lsimms, to heck with the plants, I want your house! OK the plants look great, too. But that's one suh-weet crib.

Ego, that combo is fabulous.

lol, Thanks. Had it reshingled the year I redesigned the front garden. Best thing I ever did was to keep the shingles unpainted...used Log Cabin stain.

Here's a new pic.

Here's another...

If Endless Summer should fail, it should fail here. Corner of fence, overhanging evergreens, morning sun hits it for maybe a coupla hours...no other real sun. It's 5 feet now and will be 6 feet by fall. Surrounded and should be smothered by Annabelle, Wild, Blue Billow and climbing hydrangeas.
