GARDENING IS FUN Y 'ALL!

Below is a Witch-hazel that should have a nice burnt-orange bud soon, it's doing quite well. It's surrounded by some groundcover and ornamental kale. 

Below is a Pygmy Japanese Maple and it should grow quite nicely. 
Here's my crimson Japanese Maple that I've always wanted, with some ground cover surrounding it, one of them being a beautiful black grass that I can't remember the name of. 

The area below was all weed overgrowth that we took out, turned the soil, remixed it (scratch scratch) and then started anew. Ignore the white border thing, it won't remain long. In there though are Primroses, the Boxwood headges, some bleeding hearts, various fern varieties, grasses, succulents, mosses, and on and on. 

Below are some beautiful Hellabores and we have them throughout the yard - I think they're my favorite "flowers" of all because they do quite well, grow quickly compared to many other things, and are just a stunning color. We also have them in white.
