6 Shade bed by front door of the house. Tall pink flowers are perennial lobelia.
7 Lake cap hydrangea that Chuck started for me about 25 years ago.
8 Neighbor's white hydrangea that sticks through the fence to our side. The blossom measures 15 inches across.
9 Miniature rose that my friend Lori gave me when our mom died.
10 Goose neck plants that M gave me. I think she got them from her elderly friend's Victorian home. They used to play pinnocle there. We've never know the name of them--just made one up.
11 Black eyes Susans.
12 Dried alium bloom.
13 The hardy fuchsia that Marci and I dug up on a very hot day from my folks' yard. I stuck it in my car and hurried home and planted it.
14 The apple tree in the yard behind us where I picked apples this week.
15 The silver plant is an Artemesia. Japanese Blood Grass is growing in the middle of it. Sedum Spectabile is growing behind the Artemesia.
