The project of converting my front yard from turf grass with Asian shrubs to all native plants.

new plants, new plants!

New plants are planted! What follows are shamelessly stolen pictures of each species followed by pictures I took of what they look like right now.

Purple flowers that look like tiny spider lilies or extra frilly honeysuckle, wild bergamot.

The coraopsis are extremely sensitive. They haven't really bounced back from being planted even though it's been a few days. The blanket flowers bounced back right away, but they were looking really wilty this morning. After a good water they look fine now.

The dozen others recovered pretty quickly too.
