Thanks Myra!
Photo #6 is a long rock garden that I built, in an "L" shape basically. Maybe this one is a better perspective. Plus a couple more from just around the house...LOL

Very nice Derrick.  I also can't grow Bleeding Hearts and I have tried twice.... :'(  Our nurseries sell them but I don't get the required winter chill to make them come back.  Are those Dahlias in the wall containers?  Very colorful.  My columbine have all finished blooming and have gone to seed.

Great photos Derrick!  Looks like your spring colors are in!  Love Bleeding Hearts but only grow them during the season from the nursery. 

I like the rock wall garden too.  I also see plenty room for a big pond  :D

Thanks Jerry, coming from you that means a lot!!!

Mike, those are Dahlias. When I got them home the wife asked me what they were and I said I didn't know, but they are pretty so I got them! LOL.....I'm horrible with names, but know what I like when I see it! ;)  The Columbine is shot now too. That pic was a week ago, and she didn't age well!

hahaha...funny you should mention a nice big pond there as I was just telling the DW the other day that if we removed a couple of trees along the side it would be the PERFECT spot for a big pond!!! hahaha

The bleeding hearts grow like crazy here. Actually need to get rid of some by next year because one in particular is trying to take over a garden. I forsee doing some major pruning.  :o

Derrick, Your yard is looking great O0. The bleeding hearts are always a nice spot in the early summer. I have a white one out front. Should really get a couple pink ones. They do grow very well here.
I really like your stepped terrace and wooden steps.
Have you ever thought of putting a fire pit it? Nice to sit around.

Very pretty pictures.  I love bleeding hearts.  The picture you have of a closeup of them with the little white flowers in the foreground, is pretty enough to be on a greeting card!

Thanks Karen. That picture did come out rather well....more luck than talent I'm afraid!  :D

Steve, been thinking of that spot for a fire pit for some time now, just never seem to get around to it! hahaha

Really nice. Look at all that space. I'm jealous.

Bleeding Hearts do very well here too. The pictured is from Japan and there are native and native hybrids too.
