garden...ing.

So, I haven't talked much about our backyard or garden areas, except to bemoan the drainage and garden patio areas.

Taking a cue from Evan, I've decided to try to list all of the planting (and pre-existing plants) we have in our yard now...

Starting on the West side, we have:
mystery bulbs (probably some sort of early spring daffodil or hyacinth... long leaves which have now drooped...).
Then a patch of gladiolas.
A peony (color yet unknown).
More mystery bulbs.
More gladiolas.
What appear to be Buxton Blue geraniums.
Some hanging baskets with white Wave petunias and some bright(!) pansies.
A HUGE row of daylilies (no idea what color).
More mystery bulbs.
A small Japanese shredded-leaf maple.
A boxwood.
More calla lillies.
Some kind of yellow-green shrub.
More calla lillies.
A sand cherry.
More calla lillies.
Another boxwood and another yellow-green shrub.
Short white mums.

Now the East side:
Hanging baskets (as mentioned previously).
Hollyhocks behind cannas behind dahlias behind mums.
Two rather old lilacs.
A forsythia.
Two yellow-and-green ivy-like shrubs.
A huge clump of hostas.
A bright red peony sprout.
A large peony (color unknown).
More hanging baskets.
More hollyhocks (behind everything below).
Daylilies.
Daffodils.

By the deck:
Daylilies.
Irises (dark red with pink).

On the deck:
Window box with petunias and pansies.
2 deck boxes with Martha Washington geraniums and pink snapdragons.
1 deck box with purple and white flowers which I cant remember.
1 deck box with blue and white flowers which I cant remember.
