A few things from my yard. This crape myrtle was in my back yard barely alive. I'm not sure why I had ever planted it back there! I decided to move it to the front several years ago and man did it take off. I've pruned on it to try to get it in the shape I want. The heavy rain we had the other night caused one big limb to break from the weight of the wet flowers. You can't tell if in the photo. One of my tree form hydrangeas. I have one in the front and one in the back. Then the others are caladiums and Elephant Ears. I have a bunch more elephant ears but I like the coloration of these.
