The other thing I'm planning is actually a new bed, but it has to wait until AFTER the
construction of the new room on the back of the house is done, 'cause I want to put it on the corner. Basically it'll be a small bed anchored by a purple, fragrant, purple climbing rose, 'Night Owl,' which will be trellised against the wall, plus I have a really pretty peachy daylily, 'Razzmatazz' Echinacea (coneflower; pictured below left), and little baby apricot dahlias. (the rest are in pot above left--there's also a purple African daisy in there but it's not blooming now).Right now most of this is in a pot awaiting the lonnnnng-awaited room, but I need to repot the coneflower (probably in one of the
pots I empty doing the other expansion). I must say, Lowe's has had some pretty nice coneflowers lately; which is bad for me, 'cause I can't stop buying them. Not only did they have 'Razzmatazz' (which is too cute), but also 'Primadonna White', which I planted in front at the base of the white climbing rose. They also had one of those orange series, like 'Sunset' that I like so much and had bought already online--for much more money. Oh well, who knew??
