Today I finished the front yard makeover that I had planned for my week off.
In this bed I planted a Cape Honeysuckle and Verbena for ground cover.
Here, I added several Lantanas of different colors. It's going to look very nice in a couple of weeks.
Recapping what I did this week-- I added a new bed along the pathway to my front yard and planted ground orchids. I added Bromeliads to mix up with my Crown of Thorns. I also added new bricks in most of the front yard flowerbeds.
I had planned to put a division between my neighbor's driveway and my yard to plant miniature ixora bushes. One problem, though; I busted the budget on the other jobs so I will leave this for next time.

It was fun working in the garden everyday. If I could make a living at it I would do it in a New York minute! Monday it's back to work.
That is all from the DragonFly garden for this week, Happy Easter everyone.

Beautiful!!!
Rusty--this is just lovely. The colours of the bricks just work so well with your sundrenched surroundings. Imagine busting a budget...I've never done that. Nope. Nope. (good thing my nose can't grow like Pinocchio's....)
Wow, everything looks fantastic. I really miss gardening in the actual dirt, gardening in pots is just not the same.
You must be really pleased with the way everything turned out.
Looks wonderful Rusty!
Happy Easter to you Rusty! You did a great job and the area by the neighbor's driveway will wait for you. Those lantanas will be so brilliant in bloom, it will be a festival of color. We use lantana here as annuals, they bloom nonstop and the butterflies love them. Small pots of them are available and inexpensive so they are a good choice for summer color. Thanks for sharing your project with us.
