Another success with flowers. It may not seem like a large feat to some of you but to me it's amazing. I only had a few new plants die on me this year. Yea!
Some of the successful flowers are the Rose of Sharon. They're like a Hibiscus but can tolerate our climate a bit better. Although I did plant some Hibiscus too. More on those later, I hope. I planted 5 Rose of Sharon bushes along the back edge of the backyard and all 5 survived and 2 have bloomed.
They're both this color combination which is very pretty, but I like a little variety so I'm hoping the others are at least one or two different colors. They will grow to be a hedge along the backyard where we have a drop off and plan to put a retaining wall of some sort and a set of steps. I'm very pleased so far with how things are turning out. Only a couple casualties that I was able to redo. That's the backyard.
Alas, the front yard. That will be another entry as I am still trying to salvage what I can there.
