West Den and Back of House

So we looked at the west side of the house in a previous post. Still on the west side, but continuing toward the back yard, a hedge of tall Arborvitae runs along the lot line creating a nice privacy screen between our neighbor’s backyard patio and our backyard patio. The bed that wraps around the back corner of the house has a Peony (deep rose), Chives, Penstemon, Campanula, Baptisia (False Indigo), Dwarf Goatsbeard, Pasque Flower, Prairie Smoke, Daffodils, Achillea Ptarmica (Sneezewort or Rough Baby’s Breath), Siberian Iris, Switchgrass (‘Heavy Metal’), Yarrow (‘Paprika’), Pincushion Flower, Geranium, creeping Sedum, Wood Hyacinth, summer Phlox, Liatris, Hosta (a variegated and a plain), Balloon Flower, Goldenrod (unknown type), an unidentified bush, pink Bleeding Heart, Dwarf Lady’s Mantle, and Rhododendron.


In the above pic, we are facing mostly south. The green bushes on the right side of the pic are the Arborvitea hedge. The pink flower is the Peony.


In the above pic, we've shifted a little so we are facing the back window of the house. In between the A/C unit and the bush is a Bleeding Heart. The yellow debris in the grass is bracts from the Linden tree (described in a later post). You can just see the edge of the round-ish bed where the Linden tree is located on the lower left side of this pic.


In the above pic, we're standing on the other side of the A/C unit. There's the Rhododendron and a Dwarf Lady's Mantle. Plus a Cherry Tomato, basil, and flowers in pots on the patio.
