There are "Wisley Pink" Helianthemum and "Johnson's Blue" Geraniums throughout the garden, along the retaining walls and paths.

The stepping stones go toward a Crape Myrtle tree. You can see the bottom of the climbing rose (Iceberg) and, across from it, one of the Phormium plants (New Zealand flax). Close-up views of the rose vine and flowers are below.

Above are the pots of Ivy Geraniums and feather grasses on the main patio,
each positioned by an arbor post. The pictures below show the area to the
right of the patio, under the palm tree. The Merritt's Pink Hydrangea
was starting to achieve its deep pink color. The delicate pink flowers
are on the Impatiens shrub, just behind the Hydrangea.

The pictures below show the lower level of the garden.
Left: There is another Hydrangea behind one end of Mike's horseshoe pit.
Right: The "Apple Blosson" Penstemon and the Star Jasmine spills over
the curved retaining wall.
Below that is the view from the bedroom window,
looking over the firepit to the lower patio.

The firepit is filled with glass -
a mix of clear and blue pieces.
The Dogwood and Coral Bark
Maple trees are on the lower level
next to the back fence.

Below are one of the Carpet Rose
plants and a Johnson's Blue
Geranium (hosting a visiting bee).
