I think all pears are self fruitful. Certainly I've seen them numerous times all by themselves and loaded with fruit.
Leonotis! This plant seemed to be in all the garden shops near me about ten years ago, but I never saw it in anyone's garden. So it is familiar...
Clivia is my guess, as well. Clivia seem to be yellow or orange. Do you remember more about the flowers?
Pine needles will work if you lay them down thickly. However, they do tend to be a bit slippery underfoot. Personally I like a very thick wood...
I'm in zone 6 and had the same crocosmia as Canadian Chelsea. It overwintered her with no trouble. Actually, it seemed to dislike our summers...
There is a kind of window treatment whose name I do not know but maybe someone else here will recognize what I'm talking about. It lets a lot of...
I can tell you one thing that has not worked for me that is often recommended: Pennyroyal. Since I grow it anyway, I've tried rubbing it on...

Brybry, actually it was a few leaves I saw in your photos that made me think of Smilax. Not the leaves that are most dominant in your third...

Droopy, I think you were right. So far it is working, thank goodness. I have been so happy working on this new garden and felt emotionally...
A follow-up. I planted seed straight out of an acorn squash (could not find Delicata or teacup/dumpling squash in grocery). It came up so...

I do not know what this is, but I think that if you have the space to let it grow naturally, unpruned, it would reward you with graceful, wands of...
So elegant.
Euphorbia marginata "snow-on-the mountain" Not truly as shrub as it is an annual, not woody. Can make a nice plump mass just in its single...
Separate names with a comma.
