A quick walk through the garden before the storm….

German iris with an Orange Storm quince finishing its bloom
Barren strawberry
Empress Tree: generally considered an invasive tree but if you cut them back to stumps each season they do not bloom and produce thousands of seedlings and they reward your efforts by shooting straight up to about ten feet with huge umbrella sized leaves.
Snowball Bush with George Tabor indica azalea in the background.
Red buckeye
German iris
Japanese painted fern
Yellow flag water iris : yes, there is a small plastic pond under all that forsythia.
Boston Ivy, Autumn fern, and passionflower
Tropical day flower (Tinantia pringlei ‘Panther’)
Panther Mexican Dayflower
