Prairie Fire Crabtree in bloom

      Ta-da!
Prairie Fire crabapple!!

Creeping phlox!!

Creeping phlox rock! 

Great mat of color in the spring. Plant on bed edges and give them room. They prefer full sun....which isn't a problem in spring when trees are beginning to leaf out. The flowers last long enough to introduce the next round of perennial color. Consider switching up your plant pallet to have a color rotation throughout the summer. As one fades another is beginning! 

Crabapple 'Prairie Fire' disease resistant variety! One or 2 more weeks and we'll have tons of pink blooms!!!

My sour cherry tree has a flower....small white cluster near center of the photo!! Cherries are coming!

 Hostas are emerging ....get your mulch down now.....

Jacobs ladder is beginning to bloom....my favorite shade perenial! 

The quite calm of the design room 

I love the drawing table my husband built for me! He is so creative...thank you Schmoopy!!
