    In the front courtyard, things are fairly organized.
    I rely on potted plants for summer interest,

    they've got a lot of growing to do, :-D but it's a start.

    And more potted plants, this time at the top of the drive,
    along the south wall of the house, beside my potting shed.
    It still looks pretty neat and tidy. :-D

    But, in the back yard . . . :rolleyes: . . . I've lost all control,
    it's a jungle back there.

    I tend to throw everything in together, wherever there is a space,

    the strong will survive. :D

    Now that was a lovely relaxing walk with you around your garden. So much to see that I think I may have another little wander there again soon. :D

    The pots out front are very pretty, but I love the jungle look of the backyard best. You have done so much work out there to make it look very inviting for a stroll or a sit down.

    Thanks to you all, I appreciate your very kind words.

    Toni ~ Out front, I try to maintain an illusion of decorum for the neighbors,
    but I like the back best, too. [​IMG]

    Hank ~ pull up a chair, there are a couple right behind you,
    there beside the pond. Now what can I get you?
    Iced tea or a frosty brew?? :D

    Sharon ~ I wish I knew the name of that Daylily,
    Netty thought it might be "Midnight Magic"
    and Courtney suggested Black Emanuele" as a possibility.

    I looked them both up, but I'm still not sure. :shrug:

    This Daylily looks different, depending on the light.
    This photo was taken on a cloudy, rainy day

    and this one was taken on a glaringly bright day. 8)

    Wow, what a lovely garden. The day lily is great, do you know its name and I would love to see if we can buy this in the UK. Also, the blue flowers by the playing frogs.
