Mothers Day Planting

We got to the garden center today to pick out some annuals and perennials.  Emma wanted to choose for a garden of her own, so we've given her part of a bed we created last year in front of the house.  It gets a good amount of sun, and here is the mixture of perennials and annuals that she chose:


We also planted the annuals in the barrels we have next to the back porch.  Then I lost energy, so the rest will have to be planted throughout the week. 

The plant in the center is corkscrew grass, which Emma spotted.  Here is a close-up:

 The spring bulbs are almost done, but here are some tulips that are still looking very nice.
