You didn't see a lot of it because there's not that much. If I could afford it I would put it everywhere. Thanks for the compliment.

This is the front of the house about 2 weeks ago after we had the huge tree cut down. It was to the left of the picture. The stone path here is of a much cheaper lot and we did the labor ourselves several years ago. Sure couldn't do it now. Obviously I make every effort to grow the tropicals even they are out of place. The front has peonie (all under ground now) and EE. Now that is a combination if ever there was one. Peonie needs lots of cold and well, EE's are tropical. What can I say? I do what suits me wherever I have the room.
Ironically, they do very good together. This is first year for the tropicals in the front and I expect the EE will take over next year. At least I hope so.
