Hi, Flowerprincess. I too have some of the forest grass. It stays so compact and unobtrusive, I forgot I had it. It's very pretty behind some astilbes. Could you post some pics of your yard? Perhaps that would help me. I'm planning a path with flagstone from tha patio around the hedgerow and changing the cement walkway to flagstone as well. Also, a dry stream bed from the west corner of the house to the other side of the yard. Oh, and some volcanic rock and ground covers. That thyme sounded pretty that fofo mentioned. Any tips?

fofo, I have some giant reed that looks like bamboo and had some true bamboo in a pot but it didn't do very well. Wrong kind, wrong site. Anyway, posting a pic of one of my buddhas.

Dearcahser, does your flowering plum require afternoon shade?

And finally to all. My small bloodgood maple that I am having a problem with that I mentioned on another thread. If I move the maple to the west end of the yard against the fence where it will get afternoon shade, will that be sufficient, do you think?


Anyway, thanks, all for the answers. Kwanjin
