I got a few more Honeyberry plants, that are improved cultivars over some of the older bushes I have. The berries tend to be bigger and tastier.

Golden Lilac
The Golden Lilac stands out among the green in the landscape. It also has faded pink flowers in spring, which is unfortunate, as darker flowers would have added a nice contrast to the foliage.
Variegated Trees in Iowa
Here are a few of the many different variegated trees I am currently growing:
Color in Multiple Seasons
The Variegated Lilac looks attractive as soon as it leafs out in Spring and lasts until leaf drop in the fall. As an added bonus, these variegated shrubs also have the familiar lilac flowers in spring.
Sensation Lilac Flowering Bush
Sensation Lilac looks like a common lilac when not in flower. But becomes a sensation when in flower, with flowers outlined in white.
White Lilac Flowers
There is one White Lilac among all the Purple Lilacs in my Old Fashioned Lilac row. I’ll take some suckers of this bush to help preserve it on my place.
Popcorn Shrub
Yellowhorn is a tall shrub that is also known as Popcorn Shrub because of the flowers. This plant can produce edible nuts.
Bali Cherry Spring Flowers
The Evans Cherry, also known as the Bali Cherry, is putting on a good flower display. This bush has been suckering a lot, too.
Lilac Expansion
The Old Fashioned Lilacs have kept suckering, conquering more ground. The poultry like to hide in there.
3 Cherries
3 sour cherries in the pic below are loaded with flowers. The North Star Cherries are bush-like while the Montmorency Cherrry is taller and tree-like.
