Daylight Yard Pictures – Now With Tables and some Chairs

The crew was back again today to do more shots of the backyard but luckily I didn't need to supervise them. They were out in a couple of hours and I got the pleasant surprise of a table and chair delivery. I had ordered one square table for the upper seating area and four arm chairs plus one two person table with two folding chairs for the lower area. The big table is made of Acacia and the smaller one is Eucalyptus. I ordered them late on Saturday so I was pretty shocked that they arrived so quickly. Unfortunately the Acacia chairs will not arrive until tomorrow but the rest of the order was put together and out back in time for these daylight pictures. I'm sure you all are getting sick and tired of seeing the same pictures over and over again but I just can't help it. I can hardly believe this is my yard; I keep expecting to wake up and realize it was all a dream and I am stuck with my old, ugly concrete yard. But it's real! Not only that, but I'm getting better at identifying plants. Check me out!

Here we have the Eucalyptus folding table and chairs and in the planter potted mums. Creeping over the ledge are Bar Harbor Junipers and the large tree behind them in is a Weeping Norway Spruce.

More of the Bar Harbor Junipers and the Weeping Norway Spruce. The green perennials near the path are Creeping Euonymus. The purple plants behind them are Coral Bells, which will bloom with white flowers in the spring. The green perennial behind them is a mystery plant. I couldn't figure that one out and Gino couldn't remember what it was called but he said it will also bloom with white flowers in the spring. .

The big tree that looks like an umbrella is a Weeping Birch and it's my favorite plant in the whole garden. The little evergreen in the foreground below is a Globe Blue Spruce.

In the back left corner are some maiden grasses on the far left, a Weeping Alaskan Cedar in the center and a Golden Hinoki Cypress in the foreground. The purple flowered perennial is Meadow Sage.

The waterfall in the right corner is surrounded by more maiden grasses and another Meadow Sage.

Looking back towards the house from the waterfall corner is a Weeping White Pine, flanked by more Meadow Sage.

Camouflaging the AC units are 10 Sky Pencil Hollies. Near the path and ledgewalls are more of the Bar Harbor Junipers, Creeping Euonymus and Coral Bells.

Blocking the AC line are planters filled with assorted pansies and another large planter with mums.

Here the whole yard with the square Acacia table in the upper seating section. I'll get pictures of the arm chairs when they come tomorrow.

But this is what the table and chairs should look like, without those cushions though
