Mountain Laurels
Snowdrift, I think. I wish I didn't always lose the plant labels.

Coral bells in the front bed. I grew these from seed labeled Heuchera americanum. Since the native has non-descript whitish flowers and these range from pink through salmon to red, I got duped. Still, these are pretty.

Roses
Westerland, gaudy but one of my favorites.

Autumn Sunset, a sport of Westerland. These are both Kordes roses. I have very good luck with them, hardy and though they get some blackspot, it doesn't seem to incovenience them.

I've kept planting climbers along my neighbor's board fence. This fall I dug out Rambling Rector, an alarmingly vigorous white one and moved it to a friend's yard. In its place I planted an Alchymist, another Kordes rose.
Either Morning Has Broken or Sunsprite - whichever, it's a cheerful color.

The Impressionist -
Once in a while Heirloom Roses produces a new rose that makes it worth doing business with them. They send pathetically small, barely rooted cuttings and the shipping from the West Coast is staggering. I had to have this and it has fulfilled it's promise. It's getting some size and will be trellised to my front wall. I think one of the parents is Distant Drums, a really ugly rose.
