Holly's Garden May 2008

While the plants haven't matured yet, you can get an idea of what Holly has planted. The white impatiens along the walk way, as well as, the white bulbs will grow together eventually and make a very nice white border. The Japanese Maple was trimmed in the early Spring and will not be as "bushy" and tall as last year, giving a little more sunlight to the plants below. The bird bath was pressure washed and a noticeable number of birds have increased bathing in the clean water. Before pressure washing the birds didn't care for the yucky water. The marigolds in the clay "hen" have really blossomed.
These pictures were taken at mid day yesterday, Memorial Day, May 26, 2008, should have waited until late day when the daylight would have been softer!
