I was one of the first 300 contributors to the plant database! Garden Ideas: Level 1
I was hoping that they would be great for all of youse guys! A larch tree is like a tall evergreen in the summer but light and airy, which then looses its needles. I grabbed these two about 10 yrs ago in a nursery. Good thing, as I have not seen them since! I had visions of doing a tunnel with them across the path but could never figure out how to make a structure for them.

Here is the new pink tulip bed. I redid this bed (going down to the brook) last fall. Moved the large azalea via a landscape crew (along with several other misplaced shrubs) in the spring last year. This bed is the plum purple lavender garden in the summer. Darwin Pink Impression tulips planted amongst the daylily clumps. We took out tons of self seeded phlox, and some thugs that had been growing, added 4 yds of compost and redesigned the bed. 2 days, 4 hrs with my helper.

Across the brook, going up hill are daylily seedlings and tons of forget me nots getting ready to bloom!

The Darwin Yellows are interplanted with blue muscari and inbetween huge hostas. Soloman Seal can also be seen emerging. That's a 200+ yr old oak tree!
