DON'T BE FOOLED FRIENDS IT IS NOT SPRING AT MY HOUSE...
MOM SAID SHE NEEDED A HOSTESS FOR TODAY'S LANDSCAPING POST.
I INSISTED SHE ENHANCE MY PHOTO WITH FLOWERS TOO
COMPLETED FRONT RIGHT GREAT WALL AND PLANTINGS
OF COURSE NOTHING HAS BLOOMS 'CAUSE IT IS NOVEMBER SO
MOM ADDED THEM. THE CREPE MYRTLES ARE CALLED CATAWBA
AND WILL HAVE FLOWERS ABOUT THIS SHADE OF PINK NEXT SUMMER
THE ITTY BITTY GREEN PLANTS ARE NEW AZALEAS.
87 MILLION DAFFODILS BULBS WERE PLANTED ALL AROUND
SO THEY WILL BE POPPING UP EVERYWHERE NEXT SPRING
Someone forgot a real before photo here but alas that is what pizap if for...this was a very old bed of ivy...it was high maintenance.
In the spring and summer Dad had to trim it 87 zillion times to
keep it from creeping up the house....
All the ivy was removed. Three box woods on each side
of a Sky Pencil Holly (in the center)
Big gigantic improvement
Two more (enhanced) Catawba Crepe Myrtles on the side of the house and more daffodil bulbs.
Left front cleared of lots of unwanted wild things
a new Forest Pansy Redbud was planted.
It is small but grows about a 1' a year. Mom has a close up below
In the spring the red bud will have purple flowers all over then it will have the beautiful heart shaped leaves.
This variety is said to have red heart leaves in early May then gradually turning to green hearts in the summer. Mom is excited to see if the hearts will be red.
It does and will look lovely! What a major landscaping job. We bet your excellent snoopervision skills made the job that much easier, Madi.

That was some beautiful landscaping and we are sure that all those trees and flowers will be gorgeous in spring/summer!
ReplyDeleteBravo pretty Madi! Blooming season always works for us!
ReplyDeleteOH, yes, it is all so very nice. The enhancements from Mom are lovely, but just wait for Spring - it is going to be absolutely beautiful. Boxwoods do very well here, and those crepe myrtles come in so many beautiful shades of pink and purple. Mom loves that sky pencil holly - so unique!!! We can't wait to see everything in bloom. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteWoos - Ciara and Lightning
Oh, how beautiful! Our mom and dad did a lot of re-landscaping around here this year. We have three Redbud trees, but we don't think they have leaves that change like that! How cool!
