Flowers!



We finally started buying plants for the front of our house! The old homeowners had ugly overgrown evergreen bushes that did nothing for curb appeal. V ripped up one and we are going to rip up the other two in the next few weeks. But we were excited to get some color in front of our house so I went ahead and bought plants to fill the spot under the picture window in front of the house and along the path walking to the house. So... here they are!

Our big splurge is going to be the flowering bushes. I wanted to do a color scheme of pinks and blues in the front. We got two Hydrangea Twist-n-Shout bushes. They will be either pink or periwinkle depending on the acidity of our soil.

In front of the bushes is going to be a bunch of columbine flowers. They range in color from white to periwinkle so hopefully they look nice with the hydrangea regardless of what colors the flowers are.

And finally, along the path is going to be a bunch of deep rose blanket flowers.
