The red tree is a purple plum (Prunus cerasifera 'Thundercloud'. Then from left to right, a mugo pine, a Japanese maple, a Tardiva hydrangea, a dwarf blue spruce and up behind is a Peegee hydrangea with Spirea 'Little Princess in front of it. Perennials are daisies, Black Eyed Susans, and Russian sage. The ground cover is juniper. The pink flower is an annual Cleome.
