Can I ask what is in the lower right corner? I'm trying to ID a plant and it looks a bit like that one.

Paradigm is quite a looker, nice large, mature plant!

The glossy green with border is Queen Josephine, and thanks for looking!

I had the boulder border added last Spring before Aleta became ill. The yard slopes and it made sense to dig out a path, even if it is right next to the hedge, so that I could easily walk through that area. It is one of my favorite spots, I just wish there was room for a chair or bench of some kind. And the grandkids love it, they call it the 'secret pathway'! lol

Your Paradigm looks wonderful, Jean!! :P Mine is looking good/more like it should for the 1st time this year too. I see yours has a scape showing already too.

I love that border & pathway next to the garden. The garden looks so inviting. :)

Thanks Charla! That would be Thunderbolt, the one above that with the white centers is Loyalist and the big green one at the top is Jurassic Park.

Hi Greenguy, good to 'see' you again. Yes that is Jurassic Park. He's been left undisturbed for a couple of years now and starting to show it.

Jurassic Park. He's several years old but has been divided many times to share with friends and a couple of trades.
