Doug, Could you tell me the name of the bright pink & purple flowers that are in the looking east pic. Do you know if they would grow in Wi. I'm re-doing an area in my front yard, which is mostly shade & would like to find some flowering bushes. Tammy

Tammy Hi Tammy, those flowering bushes are azaleas. Good luck with the 're-do'!

The green Jack in the Pulpits are the North American natives so they are probably the same (asuming hers are not imports). Our native Jacks have quit a bit of variety... some of them have purple stripes on the hood with a purple spathe. I love the Toad Lilies I have. Very cool flowers!!

Thanks for the comments!! I dont get a whole lot of sun. The upper canopy of the trees is pretty dense. If you are refering to the purple and red shrubs then they are azaleas. That Japanese maple variety can get big. But I have had mine in the ground for 6 years and it is about 6 feet wide and 4 feet tall. It is a weeping variety so it wont get too tall but it will continue to get wider.

Doug, Last week I was looking at azaleas, but I was a little hesitant to buy, not being sure about what to plant. They look very bright. I love the pinks and purples. Great, that helps me make up my mind. Thanks Tammy Wisconsin

Wow!! Doug, I just viewed your photos and they gave me a lift. Thank you very much for sharing. I got some ideas from looking at what you did. What I noticed (besides your outstanding plants) was your soil. It certainly looked like you spend a lot of time bringing it to the condition it is in. I echo what patches said. Some more pictures please.
