Thanks everyone.
Dale, very nice picture, lots of color packed into one little area. I've never been to Florida in the winter. We seem to go only in summer or early Fall. I'm kind of surprised you have so much in bloom now. We go to California in the summer too. Man, oh, man, those 2 states are WAY too HOT in the summer!

Suzy, My husband really wanted me to somehow hide the air conditioner. Plant shrubs or put trellis's around it. I just couldn't seem to come up with a plan I really liked so I just plant the tall Rudbeckias around it in the summer and he seems happy with that.
We had a bee infestation where the hose from the air conditioner goes into the house. Part of the plastic surrounding the hose desintegrated (spelling?) so the bees had a way into the house. That made it very interesting last summer!

Oh and that corner holds the outside electric meter, the hose, the composter and the air conditioner. We can't see the garden from the house, but it gets pretty good sun. Hubby didn't like the idea of me planting daylily seedlings that wouldn't bloom for 2 to 3 years in a 'good' part of the garden, so that is how they got regulated to the 'ugly corner' garden. ;o)

I love this color hyacinth - woodstock.
