15. I like the colour too
Can you have things like lilacs or do they shivel in the heat?

17. These plants were chosen for their drought-resistance.
Summers here tend to be dry. So I need something that isn't going to need too much water. I don't know much about lilacs and their temperment.

16. Those are really beautiful pics!
My lilacs are in bloom, my mock orange is blooming and so is my daphne. It smells heavenly. :) That is, if it would stop raining long enough for me to go outside and actually enjoy it. :D

Things are really taking off here. I can't wait until the hummingbirds and butterflies show up. :-)

20. I had help. A lot of help.
A friend of mine and fellow DUer did the lion's share of the work. He also selected the plants.

23. Beautiful plants. I would like a garden,
but I never seem to be able to grow anything except weeds.

25. beautiful
I just planted indigo spires last week. I can't wait until they look like that.

In the meantime, I will settle for my May Night Salvia, which is putting on a great show today.

28. So why, may I ask, didn't you use this opportunity to take a picture...
...of yourself. We've been looking at the same one for nearly 4 years now.

Nice garden BTW.
