My Brown Thumb is Getting Greener.....

Just a post about trees and stuff. They finally switched the front tree, so here's our Manchurian Ash, much nicer than the other one was.


Alright, let's put all our minds together. Can anyone tell me what this tree (the original one from the front yard) is? They moved it into the back (we got a free tree for the back I guess) , and they told me a white ash. Well, it doesn't look like any of the pics of white ash on the net that I can see. Close up of the leaves....anyone? Please?? My controversial clematis. Mike thinks its "cheating" to buy one with buds at Rona a week ago. I say, dammit, I want to see some flowers this summer! (and it was lonely and sad and dried out and 5 bucks on clearance...it needed a home). Plus, I still nurtured it to bloom....right? The flowers are amazing, I can't wait till next year....
My first Lupine. It promptly died after it bloomed. WTH? There's more blooming in the next few days, so I am going to see what those do....
And my first Calla Lily, a beautiful pale yellow with a black interior. I LOVE these. I will be planting many many more next year. I can't wait for the rest to bloom.
I am really liking this new hobby of gardening, I am sure I will be posting new pics as the flowers start blooming and drive you all crazy with them.
