The Whiskers' Memorial Butterfly Garden Update
We decided that the canna lilies and calla lilies didn't really work around the grave. We took them out and placed a larger rock in the center of the bed. I am going to put Burgundy Glow ~Ajuga around the rock and we are going to put the solar fountain on top of the rock. We made some new beds and catmint (aka catnip), verbena and a Texas Star Hibiscus have been added, and old favourites have been increased.
Here is the Ajuga and catmint waiting to be planted.
Weeding seems to be taking up a good bit of my time. I found a lovely shrub growing wild around the pond. I am going to clear off the brush around it and I want to try to root it so it can be placed in other locations in the garden.
