This is the Cannas across the north end of the front of the house. I also have Elephant Ears and Hostas in this bed.

This is a garden in the middle of the front yard. The tree is a Wisteria and the plants are doing nicely but are a pain to weed! The landlady had the bush already there and planted the flowers for me. We selected the red in hopes of drawing hummmingbirds to the plot.
