One friend got the date mixed up and showed up a day early. No problem. We had a nice visit and she took a bunch of pictures while she watched me work.
'Tears of Joy' and 'Silver Threads and Golden Needles'. Note funny little flowers on ToJ. They have no petals, just the inner parts.
Front garden
Small hostas in a trough. I had decorative stones put over this by Saturday. The stones look pretty and they help prevent the squirrels from digging.
'Liberty' and 'Cherry Berry'
In the bed closest to the house. Back row: 'Jewel of the Nile', 'Summer Breeze', 'Fortunei Aureomarginata', 'Fragrant Bouquet'. Second row from back: 'Ginko Craig, 'Purple Heart', 'Stand By Me'. Second row from front: 'Allan P. McConnell', 'Tickle Me Pink', 'Halcyon', 'X-rated'. Front border - 'Kifukurin Ko Mame'.
Looking the other direction. Foreground: 'Marilyn Monroe' with the ruffles and 'Spilt Milk' with the occasional streaks. Behind MM are 'Frosted Dimples' and 'Blue Shadows'. Behind them, 'Regal Splendor'. Both plants in pots are seedlings.
