Beautiful Kathleen!
Pippi, no slideshow, suffered from a broken camera most of last summer! Finally got a new one, and it croaked on vacation over christmas. Have sent it to be repaired... keeping fingers crossed. I've actually never had a camera die on me until now, had previous ones last until they were so out of date I needed new ones.
The photo above was taken in the spring or early summer. A there was quite a bit of height later in the season. But, I have in there a camelia, a gardenia, and a dwarf mock orange towards the back/neighbor's yard. When they get a little height on them it should block the view of the electrical box. Then I had some foxgloves, japanese anemones and milkweed(a little too tall... but loved the monarchs in August-October. Also some mums (started from small plugs but got nice sized by fall), a peony, coneflower, lots of columbine, campanula, petunias and alyssum, a couple of ornamental tri-color peppers, some coral nymph salvia, Salvia may night, helianthus... and I'm forgetting a bunch. Had too much going on in there, but it was fun and there was always something blooming! I can't seem to settle down to a theme or pattern...
