Some of you guys may remember we bought in Spring of 2001 a Kousa dogwood tree which we planted with some azaleas around it. The following picture is of the tree this past spring along with the blooming azaleas and some tulips.

This next photo is a closer one of the tulips. I think they were very pretty. Even though they lasted quite a long time, I was still so disappointed when their time was up.

The next three shots are of this tree and area at the end of last August. I had planted coleus and a white annual. What I didn't realize is that I had other stuff there that grew later. It was quite a site. This year after the tulips left, I had nothing until this weekend when I planted some bedraggled begonias around it. No picture of that.
