This morning we yanked out the ratty looking Knock-Out Roses, and now I have a wide open bed to "decorate" -- of course, DH wants to go plant shopping this week... I told him I need time to research.... Men.

Also, what is this palmy thing on the corner? .... I'm thinking "Free to a good home"

In the middle, where there are no windows, I want a viney plant with lots of blooms that will attract butterflies and possibly humming birds. I was flipping thru this book I have, and I really like the look of the Mandevilla - but in the description in the book, it does not show that it attracts wild life... not like the Coral Honeysuckle, but that looks a lil scraggly. OH, just saw the passiflora. I told DH i want to do like a trellis, or just something to climb up on the blank wall.

Dh just wants plants with color, whether that be foliage or blooms.
I would like at least 1 rose bush though.

OH --- this bed is eastern exposure. Blazing sun about 10-1pm, otherwise shade.
