Oakleaf hydrangea and Hammamelis vernalis are native here in SE Michigan, too. Itea virginica is not (though it is in OH, one state south!) but it grows well here and I love it and have it!Monica the Garden Faeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369882350990949968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-689409082123963832009-03-17T07:44:00.000-05:002009-03-17T07:44:00.000-05:00So inspiring!

Love the new patio garden and the birdhouses ... I bet it gets a bit raucous around those at times once they're occupied! <BR/><BR/>Your forsythia is gorgeous, and I agree with MMD that the natural look really shows them off. I'm not real fond of those people who prune the dickens out of their forsythia so that it looks like a manicured artificial shape sticking up in the yard. Wish we had the room for a nice hedge of it, but no such luck!Iowa Victory Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220818462081082930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-72965690919856938612009-03-16T23:01:00.000-05:002009-03-16T23:01:00.000-05:00What a fantastic wall of forsythia!
