Maybe just keep it simple. We are known for having all four seasons. Maybe four windows or boxes with plants from each season. Spring bulbs flowering, a sunflower and bright blue sky, colorful fall foliage and an evergreen scene or holly with red berries dusted with snow.

Abundance.

Here is my purple hyacinth vine it is getting huge and I can not wait for it to bloom. I recieved the seeds from a couple of DG'ers.

thx phoebe and pat for the rock wall support - i guess growing up in the city you were isolated from the rural northeast - we are known world wide for our rock walls here.

the fall picture you posted is fine with me.

Hee hee - you don't give up, do you? There are rock walls virtually everywhere in the world. And honestly, I have never once heard anyone say they were visiting the NE to see the rock walls. Honest. And I am a rock / geology lover. City life has nothing to do with it. NYC has some of the best geology anywhere.

And then, of course, there is 'Plymouth Rock'....tee-hee

Romans had the best stone walls!

If people were polled on the subject, I think the single most iconic image of the Northeast would be a red (cooked) lobster.

Just put 'Larry the Lobstah' on a picnic scene in front of a stone wall, with a pine tree in the background, with a barn painted Haddam barn red.

;)

Don't think Larry would agree. ^_^

'Larry the Lobstah':

If he's red, he's dead!

(And so are his opinions!)

Abundance lives up to it's name! I have to agree on the old rock walls...definitely NE, but we are the Northeast, so red barns, lighthouses, fall foliage, lakes, & ocean is all about us...so are old colonial homes.

And Lobstah'!!

Definitely fall foliage and light houses.
Do not know what this but it is towards the street side of the yard beyond the tree banks.

Some kind of sumac? or box elder?

And this very pretty white flower.

This is certainly pretty en masse as well.

I think it's in the milkweed family, do they open to little tiny bell shaped flowers?

Echi

Pretty in mass is a rotten weed called crown vetch, very hard to get rid of.

Yes, I thought so as well. I have tons of them, flowers are white and the weed itself is at least four feet tall. Before I brought some inside the yard I wanted to make sure it is milk weed.

I have 15 acres of those milkweeds ^_^

Thanks Celeste, it is outside towards the street side where it is hard to mow, we let them grow for erosion control.

Are those invasive. I am specially keeping one section of my garden with butterfly host plants and such.

Nice, you are so far ahead of me, I love larkspur!

Are you talking about "Crown Vetch' being invasive? if so YES!!! A BIG YES!!

Gardenias

Wish I could grow them smell good?

No, the milkweed?

I'm not positive but by the looks of my field YES. LOL

Heavenly, got them as a small twig from Direct gardening before I hated them. Now it is three feet by three feet, actually got a magnolia from them as well which is now twelve feet tall in five seasons.

I was planning on getting just one or two to the butterfly locale. I have enough trouble weeding as such. Oh well.

Just this morning
