Landscaping is finally done!

[Dr. Hops]

After two years of living the pool life we finally added some tropical looking landscaping to the pool. I think we did a good job.

Love the banana tree

Love the look. What kind of plants did you use?

 

[Dr. Hops]

Cannas, secretia, iris, Lilly, daylilly, sedums, hot rod grass, windmill palm, booted sable palm, hen and chick sedum, muhly grass, lorapetalum, red star corderline, yucca, hibiscus, heuchera, dwarf Cavendish banana, azaleas off the top of my head. Everything except the banana tree are perennials.

Very nice! I love your setting, it looks very peaceful. Those Leland Cyprus will be an awesome full screen in just a few more years.

Looks great! How did you hang the curtains?

 

[Dr. Hops]

The rods are actually metal rods from Home Depot that aren't really meant for outdoor use. They're showing a little bit of rust, but were cheap enough that I'll be happy to get two years out of them. The curtains though are meant for outdoor use and I bought them from Walmart. I had to order them online, but they had tons of colors and the shipping was free!

Beautiful!! Love the banana palm. And I love your garden in the back! Everything is so scenic. Can I ask what the plant is with the wide leaves in front of your windmill?

 

[Dr. Hops]

Lambs ear. They are very soft to touch and very prolific.

For curtain rods you can always use galvanized pipe, it is heavy and little pricey but will work. The plantings are looking good.

I agree, good job. Spray paint those curtain rods with Rustoleum paint.
