Miles, the patio is just lovely.

Victor, glad you got your ID. Your pics are making me want my columbine and viburnum to bloom so badly...lots of buds. question? Here's my ninebark 'Summer Wine'. Should I let it grow like this?or prune back the long branches? It's seems like such an odd growth habit. None of the original foliage had any new growth...it just started new branches (canes?) and they grew to this height last summer.
