Sheww!!!! The last few days have been busy for me. Last week I pulled 8 gazillion yellow iris's out of my front flower bed (to give away) and transplanted a GIANT THORNY rose bush to the side of my house. We then pulled out all the sod across the front of my house and planted 27 lavendar plants across. Unfortunately, while it looked like they were going to make it - we had a LONG (3 days) HARD rain and I think drowned most of them. 7 lavendar plants are left standing. LOL So that left me with a long flower bed and not much green, so I transplanted some odd succulents from my old house that I had apparently forgotten to plant and they were still alive - all the way across the bed between the lavendar plants.
On the side yard, I transplanted the giant rose bush and after the rain it FELL OVER!!!!
I propped it with a shovel in the pouring rain and it stayed up awhile and then FELL OVER AGAIN!!!
So Sunday dh and I staked the rose bush and it actually looks like it's going to make it. It's pouring rain today, so we'll see if it stays up this time.
I planted 3 lilac bushes on the side of the house and filled that bed with periwinkle that I transplanted from my other house. That stuff spreads like wildfire, so I brought a bunch and I bet the bed is filled with them soon.
I then took 2 hosta's from my other house, seperated it out, and planted 20 hosta's here.
I love spreading perennials!
Oh, and I also brought about 20 or so purple irises from the other house to stick in a flower bed the previous owners had made. It was nice having a flower bed that I didn't have to rip sod out of!
I'm sticking primarily with purple, white and pink flowers. I never thought I'd do pink, but the pink actually looks pretty nice with my grey siding. I'm getting ready to paint my shutters all purple to match my door!! My last house was yellow with green shutters, and I planted primarily white, purple and yellow flowers there.
Anyone have any white-purple-pink bulbs/succulents to trade for some yellow daffodils or yellow iris's? I also found some groundcover that flowers yellow. I saved some, but don't really want it because it's not my color. I'd like to trade that as well!
Anyone want to trade bulbs - succulents - groundcovers?
