Hi Loretta! We may just do a japanese maple next year, I saw a really pretty one at Lowes the other day, growing in a 3 gallon container. It had pink, white, and green leaves, and they wanted 80 bucks for it.... it can wait LOL.
Here are a couple updated pictures.

Nearest to the house, starting at the bottom, there is a Geranium, naked ladies, wild violets, cyclamen, dwarf cavendish, white forget me nots, and a peony. Along the fence (probably cant see) are 2 clumps of what will be pink plumed grass, I dont know the name, but am kinda mad at myself for not reading closer, the tag said annual zones 3-7. Well duh, I skipped right over the annual part LOL I had never seen that, and thought an annual is an annual is an annual.... On the right side in the little wooden planter are annuals that are still small, petunia, coleus, alyssum, marigolds, behind it is a brug.

What the bird bath (with the stuff in it cause it leaks LOL) has behind it that you cant see are some daisy type annuals, some type of spoon daisy, a purple daisy, a neon orange with purple throat daisy, and a pink type daisy. (like how I kept track? LOL), in the rocks around the ponds, are ground covers, creeping phlox, sweet potato vines, and some other annual vine that has green with white edges, and a nasturtium I grew from seed that you can maaaybe see in the middle of the 2 ponds..

IN the pond, that are just now starting to grow, and make babies are one hyacinth, one lettuce, 4 leaf clover, frog bit, 4 goldfish, and 4 bullfrog tadpoles that we just read are poisonous to dogs when they turn to frogs geez!
