We finally got some trees planted in the flowerbed. We got two 7-8 feet tall Bloodgood Japanese maples. They're purty. They were looking kind of wilted yesterday, so I watered them and Jeff applied root stimulator (which we should have done before filling in with soil). He said that the high winds of the past few days could cause the wilting, too. I hope so. I hope we don't kill them. I may even have some crafty ideas for the dried leaves.

Now we need to figure out what else to plant in there. I don't mind a few annuals, like around the mailbox, but I'd rather have perrenials for the most part. So Jeff liked these petunias for around the mailbox, and I thought we could mix in these and maybe these. (Side note: I found a pic of someone's Boa constrictor named Petunia, and that just cracks me up.) And I want some lilies, dammit. And we saw some kind of daisy looking flower that was a pale blue or white, and had a blue center. Very cool, but the pots didn't have any info on or in them. I don't know how they'd look with the red maples, but they looked cool (dammit). These are close, but not quite (after 30 fucking pages of google image search).
