There are 2 of these blooms in our backyard… just beautiful.
Front yard improvement. This is the left side BEFORE and the right side looked about the same. It looks so much better with those hedges out of there! We added about 30 new plants so in a couple of years they should be looking good. The tree in the lawn is new too, since the old one died. The best part is we didn’t have to pay anything or do the work. We complained to the HOA about a couple of plants that were dying and they tore up everything, asked us what type of plants we wanted, they took care of planting them and hooking up the drip system and added new bark. I guess it pays to complain!!
There was a neighborhood wine gathering down the street and these are our wonderful neighbors, Leo, Leah, & Patti. There were about 60 people that showed up… Verdera is the party place. The goal is to do this gathering quarterly and rotate hosts.
