More scenes of a new garden

Kathy Sandel sent in just a few more pic of hercurrent gardenin Sacramento , California , and I could n’t resist share them :

A stunningly perfect blush wine , and behind it a violet blue is verbena , the perennial smorgasbord ( Verbenahybrid , Zone 9 – 11 ) .

This is a dogwood blossom ( Cornussp . ) from a small Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree planted in a big flowerpot .

I have several full grown citrus tree trees . Orange , Meyer Lemon , a Sweet lime , 2 tangerines a blood orange and a Keffir lime in a smoke .

Loropetalum ( Loropetalumchinense , Zone 7 – 10 ) with pinkish flowers and glum foliage . The color is echoed by a the leafage of a New Zealand flax ( Phormium , Zone 8 – 11 ) behind it .

What ’s left of a peony flower , some dymondia ( Dymondiamargaretae , Zone 9 – 11 ) and a sedum . I think this one is ‘ bright ’ , which flower pinker than ‘ Autumn Joy ’ . The Paris green leafed plant might be aSpirea .

The house as it appear when I buy it . clear , but it would n’t evaporate your pump . I did n’t like the military color of the service department door and trim .

After shutters , a new blusher job , and some rose vines : ground preparation and trickle irrigation for reason screening .

With dymondia ground cover charge plant . I love the looking of the dimondia against the silver / lavender colour of succulents . However the dymondia was not happy here in the front . It loves the rear and side gardens , but it picked up a fungus in the front which damp it and then the broiling august sun let me bang that I take to commute it . I have since ripped it all out and have replant withRuschia lineolata‘Nana ’ ( Zone 9 – 11 ) It is a Modern form of ice plant , very bantam and originate close to the ground . It seems to be doing heavy and they state me it can be walked on . The tree is a pink flowering Crepe Myrtle .
