OK. This isn't much to look at yet, but I got these in before winter hit so the roots have time to establish.
You can see the outline of the garden. I dug away the grass in the plot to add a nice design to the garden. The top right is a butterfly bush. The two other plants are succulents. The smallest one was actually growing part way under my deck. I have plants show up out of the blue all the time.
The big one in the middle is one I just transplanted. It was in an area of the yard where it was covered by bushes and yet it was growing. I decided to move it here.
I also planted some butterfly weed seeds along the sidewalk area. Anxious to see how they do. In the spring I'll add more plants with the idea of attracting butterflies. This is in my front yard. I'll admit I have neglected the front yard as I spend a lot of time in the backyard landscaping. With two ponds and a deck pond, I'm sure you can understand why.
Here is what these 2 succulents will look like. This one is in full bloom right next to my Japanese Maple.
This is named Sedum telephium 'Purple Emperor' (Stonecrop)
