The indestructible Black-eyed Susan usually appears in early spring and starts overflowing its allotted plot by mid-summer
I've tried for over a decade to get something to grow in front of my house. Nothing takes because the dogwood prefers to stand alone. This year I allowed it to have its way, and it has given birth. I don't think I'm fooling anyone.
Sometimes the cement stays and the plants remain in pots to become decorative front railing. Basil and rosemary are free for neighbors, but no one wants to disturb the display!
Hostas and snowball bushes are a favorite for the homes who have a tree in the front.
This is the only Japanese Maple in a front plot. It makes a nice change from the overused dogwood. Obviously, some shrubbery must be corralled.
Cosmos add a colorful decoration to the rather drab stucco. Charles Litzinger developed these houses in 1916, and his trademark was stucco in the front and
brick in the back. These were also called "light houses" as they sport 2 skylights in the middle rooms.
Everyone has at least one tomato plant growing somewhere.
The railing along the Wyman Park Drive property acts as a trellis for this morning glory. Being so close to park, vines and weeds tend to creep into yards overnight. Saturday mornings usually resound with the Weed Wacker Concerto.
A symbol of Southern Living, the Crepe Myrtle made its way up from the Carolinas. This beautiful shrub has gained in popularity over the decades, and can be spotted in many yards throughout Remington and Wyman Park.
