I love Outdoor Wednesday. Everyone is so creative in what you find...even in the midst of winter for some. Susan is the hostess over at A Southern Daydreamer.
Well, we're almost through with our arbor project. I hope I haven't bored you to tears with this! We added plants this past week.
We went to the nursery to browse which isn't how we usually do things. We typically have a plan and are seeking specific plants. This time...not so much.
We found some gorgeous yew which was already potted. They are huge! I love that they give the landscape a look of being there a while. We took one out of the pot (which had been broken).
The other one we placed on the far side of the arbor. I love the age on the urn. I will add my mother's bird bath and a concrete bench I've had forever.
We also planted abelia. Love the glossy leaves!
A double bloom red Knock-out tree rose. Our's looks like this:
But it will look like this one day...I hope!
We added three of the new Sunny Knock-out roses. Ours -
Eventually -
My daylilies are coming up like gangbusters!
We hope to hit another nursery this weekend to add a Climbing Pinkie rose and purple clematis to the arbor.
See you tomorrow for Tablescape Thursday!

Everything is going to be beautiful. I need to see if I can try those knockout roses here in AZ!
Girl, I have to tell you that I am jealous. Your yard looks great. I didn't know there was a knock-out rose tree. I hope our snow melts quickly so that I start seeing some signs of spring. Love the urn in which you planted the shrub.
Oh, how beautiful! Can't wait to see the finished projects done and blooms budding out (is it ever really, finished).
You have inspired me.
After I read and comment on my fav blogs, I'm out to the yard for the wheelbarrow, shovel, etc.
Happy Outdoor Wednesday Judy Bug! Bored? No way! I look forward to seeing what additions/changes you have made to your new corner/arbor area! It is going to be gorgeouss when blooming! Thanks for sharing your photos.

Never bored....always waiting to see what is next. I enjoyed how you showed what the plant looked like when you planted it and what it will look like later. Interesting thought process you have. Happy Outdoor Wednesday!

Getting daunting , there are so many!

I can never tire of your progress.. This looks fantastic already.. I must find the knock out rose tree.. It is going to be gorgeous when it grows up..lol Good luck with your search this w/k..

Beautiful arbor, and I love all the flower photos. Outdoor Wednesday is really making me sad about living in the northeast!
BTW, your red transferware header is gorgeous!
Everytime I see your banner, I drool...
Pretty gardens... Will be even prettier soon!
I love all the plants you are using, especially the roses. Roses are my favorite flower. At one time I had 45 rose bushes, but my neighbors bamboo overtook them and I had to relocate them and they didn't do so well. Now I have 6. Thanks for sharing.

Oh, you do not bore me with the photos of the arbor! I have been thinking I may do similar, if we do not move. I already have an abundant climbing rose to train over it. Shush--haven't told DH yet.
So glad to find your site!
It is not boring. I love to see what others do around their home. Love that urn.
Glenda
Luv your arbor too, and especially the flagstone steps leading to the bench!

You've got some great plants in the ground already. When everything comes up your arbor will look amazing. :)
Your yard is coming along beautifully. I love the urn, and your plantings are going to be gorgeous. You have done an amazing job. Kathy
