I've haven't had a chance to post pictures of some of the things I got this spring. I'm really into conifers and Japanese maples, so that is where I tend to spend my pennies. Here is JM Coonara pygmy (from Topiary Gardens in NY) in a planter with Sedum oreganum and Carex flagelifera Toffee Twist.
Pinus parviflora Azuma (from Cady's Falls Nursery in VT)
Chamaecyparis obtusa Gold Fern (Greenscape nursery in Bangor ME)
When I step back and look at the garden and compare it to how it looked a few years ago (lots fewer flowers now, as I've made space for the trees), I like it, but still, I miss the flowers when the rest of you are posting such pretty pictures! Of course, not much is blooming yet as the bearded iris are just opening, so it will get better, but it certainly isn't the riot of colors it once was!
