Rose Bushes
A lot of the different Rose bushes are flowering around here. Pink flowers in front and white flowers in the background.
Hoptree with Yellow Leaves
The Golden Hoptree has leaves that shine like the yellow sun. This small tree is going to really stand out once it grows above the grass.
Little Rose
I snapped a shot of this little Rose that was growing in the hay field, among the grasses. The Roses are frequently cut with the grass, so stay small, yet bloom.
Catalpa New Growth
Variegated Catalpa trees are at their best when first leafing out. The strong colors will soften as summer goes on and will appear mostly green.
Rheum Palmatum Flowering
Chinese Rhubarb is a large-leafed ornamental, that also has colorful flowers.
Smoketree Cultivars
The genus Cotinus can be colorful. Above are 4 different Smoketree cultivars with different colored leaves.
Purple Beech Bush
The Beeches I have planted over the years have grown so slow, they are still practically bushes. The color contrasts with all the greens in the landscape.
Populus Candicans Aurora
This is the first year my Variegated Poplar actually had variegation. Usually the leaves are green, but I coppiced the trees, and the new leaves finally showed their namesake.
Acer Pseudoplatanus Nizetii
Nizetii is a variegated cultivar of the species Acer Pseudoplatanus. The leaves have excellent variegation and color, but this tree has grown slowly for me.
