This is a photo of the same tree last year. I don't have a close up of it. I thought that the nursery had probably sent me the wrong tree but it just turned out that it wasn't being taken care of properly. Believe me. The second flower isn't any darker than it is in real life. What a surprise!

It sounds as if you have a fun bed starting. It's always good to get a small place done so at least you have some respite. I'm "into" doing small spaces right now and I'm having a lot of fun.

I do love abutilons. Which ones did you get? I have three and I really enjoy them but i don't know their names - can you believe it? Metal markers everywhere too but not on these. My camellias are too old to have names for and they think that they should bloom now too. Go figure.

A five year plan sounds good. My garden is on the 30 year plan. LOL
