I planted this Beautybush (Kolkwitzia amabilis) several years ago to hide the propane tank.
I just love it when it's in bloom and it has done a good job of shielding the view of the tank now that it's so big.

The smaller light green shrub in front is a younger Dreamcatcher beautybush.

This is my little smoke tree, variety "Grace".
It has such beautiful foliage, especially when the sun is shining behind it. This picture doesn't quite do it justice.

I love those beautybushes! Your garden looks so peaceful. I love peaceful gardens yet for some reason I don't have one. :rolleyes:

I've never heard of them. Are they evergreen? Do they bloom for a long time? Any dwarfs? Oh why am I asking, I have no room. :th
