ha-hah! well, it is not exactly what one would call a medical office...
Thanks Jeanie--so you vote for keeping the hot pink? Mr. Hummer says I tip my hat to you. and the cats say Green Grin! (do you see how they lounge on the rocks like they own the place, looking all subdued? They are really hunting...) and I shudder to think of the continued perennial assault on my delicate sensibilities Hilarious! Really, I thought someone would shout-out the courage to ditch the hot pink.

Yes, relocating verbena and dianthus is certainly possible and manageable. In fact, that bigger verbena clump set itself up right in the pathway up the hill.
I wish that we were not so very alkaline and zonally challenged here and I could grow some of the fabulous foliages that thrive elsewhere. Maybe I can find a cute little juniper that won't turn into a shrub. I thought I had one once but it died the first winter. I have many semps that would be happy to move in.
There is already a dwarf-dwarf mugo there at the sandstone. The daphne is just a baby, but with any luck will become the evergreen shrub that it wants to be, and there is also a buckwheat that I just put in last year that will become a shrub too. It is ever-red in the winter and looks pretty cool with the sandstone.

This spring I had these fabulous new little squaty tulips by the sandstone and they pleased me so much that I really wanted to get rid of all the pink and move my oranges and reds over to this side.
