New Purchase Hellmond Pillar Barberry

We found a great buy at Lowes.  We're looking for a different shrub in front bookending the flowers in front of the arborviate.  We needed something small and thin.  This works and it matches the other barberry in the front yard.

Full sun

Weekly Report

The weather has been too cold and too rainy to get out side to eat or do anything.  Our yard is sadly neglected--at least by our standards.

The lilacs in the front are spectacular.  Both bushes are loaded with blossoms.  The moss phlox are also in full bloom and the spirea and the wonderful orange color.  This is the best time of year for our front yard.

The back yard is the same as last week--redbud tree, moss phylox, lamium and candy tuft.
