Pardon me if I get these wrong as I am having a really hard time choosing them from the thumbnails as they don\'t come up in the same order as when I look at them full size.
1. A columnar flowering crab that is really pushing the zones here and has never flowered for me however is a pretty shrub this year
2. The Loraine heliopsis that I was to wait for flowers to post. I jumped the gun but will post again
3. My sister gave me this hardy rose a few years back
4. A variegated phlix that like the heliopsis likes to revert back to green as you can see. This one doesn\'t have a very nice flower but the foliage is a knockout
