Angie and I at a local car show on 8 11 14

I guess this is called a "selfie."  A little narcissism never hurt anyone, did it?  Not that I think of it, that Greek guy did melt by getting too close to the sun ... or is that a different god.  There are so many it's hard to keep track ... but I digress.    Ang & I went to a local car show and just wandered around and talked after a dinner of spinach salads at Noodles.  I'm so happy she lives nearby  ... and Alan too.  He got home from North Dakota yesterday for 2 weeks and then back for 3.  God is good to us.                 8/13/14

New Backyard Plants this Summer

Hello hello to you,  Lavendeers!   I actually took photos last month but just got to posting them.  So it is not just lavender ...  but other new backyard plants this year.  I pulled out all of the old shrubs and barberry bushes along the ledges in the back and put in new plants.  The tall ones are fast growing (I forget the name) and they'll  block the neighbor's yard.  I added some more hostas toward the back.   I really like them because they are unusual and so easy to grow.  They come in many different colors and sizes and I have about 6 different types.
Astible is a very popular plant out here.  They bloom in the spring and I didnt  plant until early summer so there should be  nice colorful flowers next spring.  Lamium (light green) is another plant that I've never used, but it looks really nice and is starting to lean over the brick wall.  Nice. 

Coleus is usually an annual
so will just enjoy til fall.

 
Huerchera (coral bells)
These coral bells are in both yellow leaves and green leaves.  Haven't seen them bloom yet but Angie says they are really pretty in bloom.
So many to different flowers to choose from ... but I'm always looking for xeric and color. What is your garden doing????????                    Rosemary    8/13/14
