Front Yard Flowers

 Last year I never got anything planted in the birdbath

(which doesn't hold water).

So this year I was excited to get it done.

 The impatient and the sweet potato vine will do 

great in the heat -- but won't overwinter.

Hopefully the succulents will do both.

 I don't have many flowers in the front yard,

but was thrilled when ALL of the stuff I planted last year

by the front porch came back.

I am in shock about the columbine around here.

All of it blooms about twice as much,

and about twice as big,

as the columbine in NW Missouri.
