Hello Beverly,
Oh no, no photo shopping. My back lawn is always lush, the front of the house is always a struggle. The two Blue Spruce suck up all the moisture.

Hello MoonShadows,
That tree is a Mountain Ash that my father planted about 20yrs ago.

@Larisa What vibrant colors your Lyrthus have. Here i have only seen washed out pastels. They grow at my house too, but i have never tried them.

Yes, Lýthrum salicária (Latin name).

We call the weeping grass.
An ancient legend says that it grew out of the tears of the ancient goddess Lada.

A mixture of "Russian size" (blue and red). They are large and bright.

some of the hydrangea beds are starting to show their late summer blush already, could it really be that fall is fast approaching? Nah, no way.
