Thanks for that helpful pronunciation link Speedie!

So here's what I did today. The first pic is the before but last year when I still had those hollies in. The hollies had been removed in the fall and replaced with Shepherdia canadensis. Also, the delosperma died over the winter so it too was removed. I didn't take current before pictures of the left side of the stoop so you'll just have to trust me that there wasn't much going for it. There was a holly there to that was languishing and that was also replaced last fall with one of the aforementioned shepherdia. In a couple weeks I have a bunch of inter mountain west natives coming that are hardy for my zone and xeric. I think I'm going to finish the garden off with pine nuggets after I install the plants. I'm really happy with how it turned out today; it really makes the front entrance to the house look nice.
