Across the front of the side yard were some huge trees that were damaged by the past few years snow so I had them pulled out last year. I wanted to put in a type of cottage Garden. So little by little I would get plants I wanted and plant them. With our hot and dry summer this year I had to water which the plants loved but so did the weeds, they only grew where I watered. No matter how much you weed they still come back. But it is getting pretty--mostly perennials and shrubs and a couple Japanese Maples---so far. Next year I will hopefully finish my project. LOL
The pretty reddish flower is a Schizostylis also called Crimson Flag.Excellent Fall plant. It is evergreen and makes an excellent cut flower.(or cut the spikes)
