Climbing Hydrangea. Grows like a mutha and has big creamy white flowers. Tolerates partial sun to some shade. I need to cut these back actually, I don't want them up into the box.

These two plants were moved when we rebuilt the deck and have been back in the ground for 2 winters. They tolerated the transplant really well (w/lotza H20).

The intent was to make the stone work look like it's been there a very long time, while keeping the blacktop slab that was already there for the patio. The cobbles are all from Newport and are quite old and quite irregular. Everything from excavation to tamping was done by hand

And Flap, if I was a flag I wouldn't have used old cobbles. You can't walk on 'em with high heels

Spence, that looks great. Nice work!
