Hello! I’m enclosing just a few pictures of what’s taking place in my backyard. As one other poster talked about, we’re getting older so we will’t handle so many gardens. We’re tearing out all of our roses on the arbor. That space might return to grass. Ah, the seasons of our lives!
A bloom of southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora, Zones 7–9), hopefully attracting pollinators.
My favourite plant, the hardy begonia (Begonia grandis, Zones 6–7), which my husband hates.
This photograph exhibits the attractive underside of the begonia.
Within the entrance, some white very aromatic lilies with a stonecrop. I can’t bear in mind the cultivar.
A Midnight Marvel hibiscus (Hibiscus ‘Midnight Marvel’, Zones 5–9), taken within the early night so the blooms have began to shut.
