We have several places for flowers.

1.

Right now the side of the house has two pink rose bushes and i would love to add some more flowers to join them.

ROSSK2Q ANADE1Q BUDBI2Q ECHPD1QGAIFA1Q

Along with garlic because they say garlic grows best with roses. I’m thinking it would be nice to add a trellis to the side of the house and plant those climbing roses.

ROSGS2Q I think the light yellow/peach color would also go great with the color of the house and just be an awesome way to display them.

2.

GAIFA1Q Another area for flowers will be by the fence that will have the gate and arbor to enter the backyard.

LEUGO1Q GAIOL1Q

3.

We plan is to planting some flower trees along the one fence and i was thinking it would be fun to plant some low flowers under the trees as well.

PHLEB1Q

Since I'm going with a blue, yellow and orange theme color in the back yard remember?

I was looking for plants that would go along with that.

4.

Now the front lawn could use some plants too, but they would have to be shade flowers and you don’t have as many options there. The front porch is done in black and green remember?

HYDCP2Q these are 3’x3’ bushes. So I'm thinking they could be planted on either side of the steps to the porch, maybe even more

HELGR1Q I was thinking of planting these is some nice pots and put amongst the front porch area. We already have some bushes growing along the fence.

ISOFL1QVIOBM1Q The are low under plants that i like, but i don’t want it to get to dark you know. So i might have to use more of the pink flowers.

 

HELNC1QHELMR1QHELGR1Q

These i was thinking would be cool to plant in a pot on an side table on the porch.

 

Lots of stuff going on. We still need to sit down and totally figure out a a plan and design and how we want to plant all of these and were they will go…. an such. But i like all these flowers. And i don’t want to go to crazy with all of these cause well… I'm worried cause i do not have a green thumb. I think getting the roses on the side of the house to grow inspired me LOL

And like i said this will be way after we get the yard finished, maybe even next year because most need to be planted in the spring. But i LOVE to PLAN >_<
