This little known shrub has attractive bamboo-like appearance. The bark on the branches looks cool, too. These young plants haven’t flowered yet, but hopefully that adds another ornamental aspect to this rare bush.

Alabama Snow Wreath
I think this is the first year that I had Alabama Snow Wreath flower. This is a nice little shrub grown mostly for its flowers.
Purpleleaf Chokecherry
Purple Chokecherry leafs out green, but later the leaves turn purple. This Chokecherry cultivar can be propagated via the suckers that come up.
Buddies
One of my cats found a buddy to eat. Cats have helped control the rabbit population from damaging a lot of the plants.
Sweet Corn Time
It was time to harvest the rest of the Sweet Corn. This is one of my favorite vegetables in the garden.
Red Wings No More
The Samaras on the Red Wings Maple have dried up. They are ready to harvest and plant.
Ussuri Plum Changing Color
The Ussuri Plum starts out early in spring and as a result, starts beginning for winter earlier than a lot of plants. The leaves are already starting to change color.
Peach Week 2015
I cherish the years that my Peach trees produce, since they do not produce fruit every year. This year will not be as great as the glorious 2013, where I had over a thousand pounds of fruit, but the Redhaven Peach will provide a lot of peaches for fresh eating.
Poor Little Milkweed
I came across a Milkweed plant that was full of Milkweed Tussock Moth and Monarch Caterpillars. Milkweed is a common weed around here. Lately I have been mowing around them and generally letting Milkweed live and propagate, to help some of the insects that depend on this toxic plant.
Redhaven Peach
Redhaven Peach is a lot bigger than the Whitney Crabapples. This year will be a better Peach producing year than last year.
