Marilyn,
Some very good suggestions. I like the idea of the Japanese maple. I have always wanted one but found them rather pricey. We planted an iris last year that bloomed this year, ghost train. It is one of the darkest purple,I've seen. Another winner when it comes to the daisy family is Banana Cream. It's a beautiful cream yellow tuning to white as it ages. Cone flowers are also found here. I love watching the butterflies on them. Yesterday was the Red Admirals turn. It spent several hours on the flowers allowing me ample time for pictures. When we lived in Mass. I had a fountain in one of the gardens. The sound of trickling water is hard to beat for relaxation.
Thanks for your input,
Chuck
