Syringa x chinensis 'Lilac Sunday'
Abundant blooms which in addition to branch tips, occur from
lateral buds quite far down the stems, creating a mass of bloom.
Arching habit to twelve feet high, ten feet wide.
Very fragrant.
Flower buds may be susceptible to spring frost damage but zone 4 hardy or colder.
The mass of bloom makes up for the small floret size.
Named for the Lilac Sunday Festival at Arnold Arboretum which houses
one of the oldest and largest lilac collections in the United States
In a word... spectacular...

Yes, this is very hardy and as such could be a blessing to
folks living in zones as far north as 3 or colder
Seven to ten feet in height.
Not a blessing for me... here's why...
Lots of leaf disease in our climate.
Suckers like crazy!
The plants pictured here have been removed but the story is far from over...
we'll be digging out suckers for years to come I suspect!
Often rated as excellent in various trials... for me, a big...

Picea abies 'Pendula'
This is a plant that will be what you want it to be if you're willing to put in the effort.The name 'Pendula' probably is to some extent a catch-all term for a variety of weeping Norway spruce cultivars.... several will have a cultivar name other than 'Pendula'.
Some create leaders on their own without staking, while others
would be a ground cover if given the choice.
Bring out the inner sculptor in you and train
your spruce to be what you imagine it can be!
These are easy and fun plants.
Generally doesn't do very well south of zone 6.
Occasional beautiful pink cones on my plants.
(YES)
Take care, Larry

Giant Darwin hybrid tulips
Introduced to the United States in 1951.
These are generally perennial for me... I actually have bulbs that
I first planted 20 + years ago with one division in all that time.
Lots of sun, good drainage, and foliage left to cure seem to be the secret.
Some sources stress fertilization, but I never fertilize except at planting.
