Garden as of 11 June 06

Moving once more to the right, we approach the peninsula.  So far all the pictures have been from the front lawn.

The plan calls for 3 dogwoods.  Unfortunately, they're all pretty much sold out, so I substituted limbs from the sycamore.  Did put in a pink, oriental dogwood to the right.  Under it are the hostas I got from Valley of the Daylilies.  To the left are some ferns.  Will also add some Christmas ferns from Mississippi.  Though the middle is a stone path.  In the background is the yellow mound and the redbuds.

Here is the dogwood.  It's a little hard to see due to the bright, cloudy sky in the background.  The sycamore is in view on the right
Here is a close-up of the flower.  The flower is rather old, so in not the best shape.

The plan called form tom-thumb cotoneasters.  They're a little too dwarf for me, so settled for these, which are a little larger. These are under & to the right of the dogwood
Looking back to the path, you can see the sycamore limb marking one of the dogwoods.  The other stakes will be viburnums juddi.  Some 1/2 price deciduous ferns are laid out under the dogwood-to-be; hostas are on this side of the path.  The path will use limestone steps, and will be lowered into the ground.
