Here is the shaded part of the yard. It is more in my hubby's machine shed, cattle hauling area. We will be parking the cars in this area. Each year I add a few more hostas with the future plans to be a spot full of hostas of all shades and sizes.
Front of your home, might be using some of the yellow day lilies in the reception flowers.
View from my back door.
the flowers are starting to bloom. I really want the garden phlox to bloom. I keep telling it each time I pass, "bloom, phlox, bloom!" I don't think it is listening. This is the flower we were planning to use quite a bit in all the arrangements, it is so pretty and has a beautiful scent.
Another view - had to brighten it quite a bit.
Hollyhocks and bee balm, then that uncooperative phlox on the right.
View of the backyard, the tent will be to the right of the arbor.
