Garden Color in May 2010

The flowers on the Prunus Virginiana (chokecherry) have disappeared and the leaves have changed from green to purple.  This will provide an interesting color contrast for our screening plants:


Our Acer mycrophyllum (Bigleaf Maple) became shocky after planting and lost its leaves early in the fall.  After winter it didn't produce leaves until very late in the spring but seems to be doing great now.  It is currently about 10 feet tall.  It has several bunches of interesting flowers that are still blooming into late June.


The xxxxx is planted in 2 different colors, this red one is particularly colorful.


The sulfur buckwheat is also particularly colorful:


The lilac verbena attracts some butterflies:
