This is the "bay window bed" and it is a bit blurry, sorry.

I pulled out the 2 weigela, which were not far enough away from the yews and were barely visible. Hopefully now the one on the left will get enough sun and grow :) I put gallardia, 1 plant each due to space, on either sides of the weigela. There's some iris in the back, but you can barely see it from here.

I'm probably not going to plant much more here, at least not until I see how the weigela do in this new spot, as well as the gallardia. I'll probably eventually pull out the spirea that is in front of the diablo ninebark as I really don't think its form fits here. I got an awesome dwarf white pine that I think would look awesome in that spot, but it is so small I don't think it would work yet. Someday.

By the way, I'd love to extend the beds more, but my husband gets a little nervous about doing too much. I think I'm going to have to do it a bit anyway, so I can plant in front of the weigela. So any ideas on what I should do (I'll start planning...hee hee).
