Garden: Plants - Ornamentals

We started with bare desert dirt. We added a gorgeous turnaround drive bordered by large square artisan pavers with a cobblestone motorcourt drop-off area outside of a newly built courtyard. We planted 15 trees and 80 plants. We installed 15 spotlights, 2 wall wash lights, and 5 path lights. We will add a more plants better suited for planting in September, plus a few finishing touches, over the next 2 or 3 months. Then, we'll finish the inside of the entry courtyard and start on the back yard.

Cassia Fistula
I love these Chinese Lantern trees (cassia fistula). Too bad they are so frost sensitive! They are in the running for my tree selection, but they are currently near the bottom of the list.
