The little Magnolia bed I planted a couple of years ago is doing well. I added to it this summer which turned out to be a dry one, but the new plants seem to be surviving.
Here's a look at the fall colors
I thought that mondo grass was a boring little clump of a plant until I saw one in bloom. I bought it and tucked it in the garden to see what it'd do. It also has gorgeous berries!!
I just planted bulbs in my landlady's garden - snowdrops, daffodils, chionodoxa and some astilbe.
