Well, mostly I am rebuilding right now. Have a few clumps of daffodils, tulips, hostas in the ground and in pots, Two heucheras, some columbines, a few other clumps of small bulbs: tritelia, galanthus, chionodaxa, pushinska, crocus, scilla, miniature tulips and bulb iris. Also daylilies in the ground and in pots. I tore out some peonies last year that were so entangled with myrtle that I couldn't separate them. There are some Allium aflatunense Purple Sensation that I will keep, mostly in the side yard. I have several clumps of Red Crown Imperial fritillaria.

There is a dwarf mock orange, a yellow delicious apple under which I will plant my hostas and some more heucheras after I dig up all the alliums. This is the apple's off year; I hope all my digging won't affect the tree too much. There are several Rose of Sharon that self seeded in one corner. Plan to keep the white and kill the rest.

I have two bush roses, the old pioneer yellow and the bright Austrian Copper. There are about 14 very old Hybrid Tea and Floribunda roses; I intend to take cuttings of some of these and some at my hairdresser's. The owner there has a lot of fragrant varieties, haven't asked yet. Still have a few miniature roses, used to have over 120 when I made crafts (pictures, jewelry and cubes) with dried roses, baby's breath and forget me nots with dried vine tendrils.

With all the iris I am buying, I’ve got to really work hard to avoid the temptation to buy a lot of perennials, bulbs and shrubs until I can get a number of other areas cleared.
