The little holly is ours, but the evergreen is in the neighbor's yard.

Beautiful plants.
My lilacs and weigelas were prettier this year than they have ever been.
We had just the perfect spring.
Never before have so few with so much promised to take away so much from so many and then laugh their asses off as the so many with so little vote for the so few with so much.

Oh how I love the deep dark rich foliage of the Wine & Roses Weigela with the deep red blooms. I'll have to see if I can find that one locally. Thanks for sharing!!

What kind of dwarf lilac is that! I don't care for the look of big ones, but would love to have a small one.

Thanks, everyone!

Nanny, that is a Miss Kim Lilac. I should move it to another location. I don't think I gave it enough space. The tag says it will be 6-7' x 6-7'. I usually read the tags, but I must have been pressed for time when I planted that. :(
