Jen, at the beginning of this thread, you mentioned maybe a red flowering dogwood. I noticed you have a kwanza cherry. I have one too. When I first moved here, I didn't know I had a kwanza cherry and I planted a red flowering dogwood near it. Argh! I wish I had gotten a white one! The pink flowers and copper leaves of the cherry practically drown out the delicate dogwood flowers. Here's a pic from last year. You can see the dogwood in front on the left.

Guess that wasn't much help for you! It looks like you have a great spot there with so much potential. Have fun and good luck!
