We haven't bought a tree yet... but we did see a butterfly Magnolia. Anybody have any comment on those?
And in other updates from my yard, we also took down the row of arborvitae. I loved them, but they were overgorwn (they were supposed to get up to 4 feet, but I got news, ours were almost 7 feet, and kind of lumpy).
Now I have this 4x30 bed to fill. I could do shrubs again but dh is not into that. and it's the pedestrian side of the house, so I figured I'd fancy it up some. I bought a couple dahlia bulbs so far. Those will go against the block of the porch.
I want to put a mock orange on the front end. If I can find those canterbury bells, I'd like to use those for the back along with hollyhocks. The rest I can scavenge from my other beds.
Sheesh, like I needed another flower bed. 
Oh, and the columbine are ready to bloom, so get your humming bird feeders ready. They're probably here or will be soon.
