    I planted a little bargain priced Northern Lights Forsythis last fall. It bloomed nice this spring, and is growing and doing well. I just thought it looked lonely in the corner all by itself... so I dug a new bed and put in an Endless Summer Hydrangea, and 3 Hostas. A Fire and Ice, and 2 Whirlwind. Dolly seems to approve. ;)

    That looks real cute and won't it be prettier and prettier as everything fills it! Everybody looks happy and healthy. I like that rock border too.

    Looks great Kay. That's how it all starts around here ... a bargain shrub that looks lonely. The next thing I know I've got new gardens dug and there's suddenly no lawn left ;)

    Thanks for the compliments.
    Eileen, that Fire and Ice does look A LOT like the Hosta I planted a few weeks ago that was labeled Loyalist...
