Mockorange - Philadelphus spp. (virginalis is the only one that grows here unfortunately.) Glasso green foliage, and gorgeous, white (sometimes double white) flowers that smell like a cross between orange blossoms and jasmine.
What is your favorite landscaping shrub?
The Juniper that grows like a sky rocket and is called that. Make an entire hedge out of them. They stay green year round and are maintenance free.

Reply:Carissa macrocarpa. Magnificent white blooms with large red fruits. Easy to grow and (most of all) the birds, buck, monkeys and insects are attracted to them. That is what my garden is all about... birnging nature back. Carissa is a multi-use plant that can be structured to fit into a any type of garden setting from Zen to an English country garden. It is bullet proof, makes a fantastic hedge (double thorn) and flowers througout the year. Good for nesting and a safe haven from raptors and other predators.
Reply:Hakuro Nishiki, s far as I know it is also called a dappled willow. Sending a link for you to see it. Love the graduation of color.

Reply:Hydrangea's, espically the blue ones.
Reply:I guess I love my pink-flowering almond the best. It blooms profuse small pale pink blooms in very early spring, even before the leaves start to grow. It provides a much-appreciated punch of color in the dreary post-winter landscape.
