It has been just over a
month since I started working on Alan’s garden. You can see the start of this
progress on Alan’s Backyard May 22. Alan’s dog Cooper came out to greet us!
You can see that his
backyard is amazing with the a huge chimney as the focal point in the
background. His favorite plant is impatiens and this shady yard really creates
a perfect environment for them.
The impatiens
add a nice accent under the two vines. You can see the work done on these vines
on Alan’s Backyard May 29.
Earlier in the May 22 post
I mentioned there was a surprise in this jasmine.
A shelf to hold these two
pots of impatiens.
I planted this honeysuckle
to replace the damaged jasmine.
The chimney is a great
focal point and allows for some fun design.
Up on the chimney I
planted these two pots.
I used red and orange
petunias, yellow and orange calibrachoa and white ‘Star Dust’ euphorbia to replicate
fire.
This pot sits on the
raised hearth. I used red verbena, yellow sanvitalia, red cordyline and white ‘Star Dust’
euphorbia to also replicate fire.
On the side of the house I
planted ‘Super Elfin Violet’ impatiens in the window box.
I planted this ligularia
and these two ‘Cherry Berry’ hosta next to it, then lined the bed with
impatiens, ‘Super Elfin Pink’ around them then lined the bed with the violet
ones like the window box.
A big part of the project
was filling a lot of pots. This pot sits on the back porch and mimics the one
on the front porch with ‘Purple Shield,’ Tradescantia and impatiens.
As seen from inside the
house.
I put purple and hot pink
claibrachoa into this strawberry pot with pink and light purple bacopa. Most of
these pots were planted on Alan’s Backyard June 5.
I planted this astilbe in
this pot to mimic the one in the front yard. The plant to the left is one of
Alan’s house plants. Wait till you see its bloom.
This is what I found on
July 12. Kapow! Does anyone know what kind of plant this is? Incredible!
I transplanted this grass
from the pot that now sits on the hearth. I gave it a white bacopa friend.
And more pots!
