Bulbs: Spring Bulbs - What's Blooming? II, 1 by DonnaMack

You're gonna love it. It's my neighbor's trellis. They built a really big house to the north of me, a few months after mine, and brought in a garden designer (and their house is gray to my red - we were told what their color would be and planned accordingly). I had been putting in all kinds of things (crabapples, smokebushes, viburnums, fothergillas), and the garden designer turned to them and said - hum - we should really build on her landscaping. So they put together their landscaping to integrate with mine, with lots of hardscaping, and I get to use it as a smashing backdrop.

Another example on the north side. The white pine is theirs, as is the feather reed grass. Great backdrop to my Iceberg last November. I put in a couple of Icebergs because Madame Hardy, to the left, blooms for six weeks in June, but Iceberg carries on for months.

I have a trellis on the south side of my yard, on which I grow Quadra, the Canadian explorer rose, but NOTHING this big.

Thank goodness for people with money and taste to accompany their courtesy!
