A walk through my yard


Here is my Snowball Viburnum bush that I bought at Lowes off of the clearance
rack.  I was super excited!  I have been growing it for years but now it
is huge! It is running over my hydrangeas. It must be pruned!

 Here is my prune job. It will be a snowball tree now and my hydrangeas can breath!
There is a Sensation Lilac to the left.
It is like snow on the ground. It makes me smile.

Here is a picture of my hydrangea in bloom, 2011.


 I also pruned my Wisteria Tree. It was basically touching the ground.
 I dug this particular one up out of my friend's back yard woods.
 Beautyberry alternated with Red Fringe. I am not sure if this is the small version of the fringe bush,
but I haven't had any problems with it becoming huge. I do prune it some. My beautyberry on the
other hand gets huge! The birds love it, but the berries end up all over the porch. I have to seriously
hack it back every year. Grancy Greybeard tree in far background.

The Lily Bed. 
My Asiatic Lilies are intermingled with Stargazer oriental Lilies.  The oriental lilies have yet to bloom.
The taller ones with more spaced out leaves are Oriental, The fluffier shorter ones are Asiatic.
This year I gathered up the Easter Lilies that were thrown out around town and threw them
in the ground here as well.
Here they are in bloom, 2011 (Bought at Walmart, on clearance)
 I Love the clearance racks,  but who doesn't?
