My front "garden", and I use the term loosely, was torn out today, to make room for a new tree and some plants of my choosing. Here are some before photos:
Can you spot the nearly dead trees; a rosemary plant, a rose bush, and some others I cannot name? Here's another view, where the damage to the trees shows up better.
It's too bad we could not save the bulbs. Believe it or not, there is/was a peony plant there too.
This pink tree (I don't know the name of it) is half-dead, and it is blooming better than it ever has. Seems odd....as if it knew its days were numbered!
And here is the area now:
The crew is coming back tomorrow; they will plant a Japanese maple and I'm not sure what else....
but I will post how it looks later on.
Any suggestions for what to plant?

Rose of Sharon.
I do love rose of sharon, but now they have planted 3 gardenias and 3 camellias, and my old Peony is sending up shoots. I am not sure there is room for rose of Sharon, but we will see.
I think in May, I will plant some small things for color, such as petunias, marigolds and geraniums. We will see.
