Well guys, here I go. : )

Photos are uploaded for Planter 1, Planter 2 & Cherry Tree Planter. Once again, I'm waiting for dirt to be delivered. Where I have the pots this is where I plan on planting the flowers BUT I can always change the spot. My pots are not set in stone Okay!.....OK OK bad joke. : )

I'm still trying to figure out what to buy to plant around my hybiscus. Had some great advice given to me at the forum (introduction section). I'll look into it yardgranny6, thanks again.

Also, since I already have a lot of cannas I might plant a bunch behind the barbeque. I think the big leaves, tall plant and the color (red) will look nice there.

I might keep my potted Plumeria where it is, in the pot. : ) Then maybe place it on the patio (opposite section of the cherry tree). But first I want to read up more about Plumeria ...find out if it will survive in a pot.

yardgranny6	Sep 19, 2007 \| 4:14 PM PST Good looking patio and garden area. I know it is exciting putting it all together. LB
Rashell	Sep 19, 2007 \| 8:48 PM PST Thank you yardgranny6. : ) Yes, it is exciting. I just wish "they" would hurry up and deliver my dirt. Should have been delivered Monday. Glad you stopped by, you're just the person I wanted to shout out to. My Hibiscus will grow to be 10'T x 8'W! I'm not sure but I don't think I will need to stake it and/or put anything in front of it. Not sure how long it will take the plant to grow 10'T but if I take care of it right it will fill up planter 2. In the mean time I suppose I can plant seasonals in front? I would hate to plant a bush then remove it when the space becomes too small for it.
yardgranny6	Sep 20, 2007 \| 1:46 PM PST Wasn't thinking it was in a pot and you are right, just some nice color around its feet would look good. What is the name of your Hibiscus. They are a favorite plant of mine. Have three tropical to bring inside in a few weeks. I noticed they have white flies that will have to be treated before I bring them in. Are you experienced with white flies? and what would you use.
Rashell	Sep 20, 2007 \| 5:48 PM PST I saw your hibiscus only i had to go to the dentist I could not leave a comment. : ) They are beautiful! Mine is a Fire Engine Hibiscus (Hibiscus Rosa-Sinensis 'Fire Engine').
Rashell	Sep 21, 2007 \| 12:34 PM PST yardgranny I forgot to answer your question about white flies. Yes, I do have lots of them. My grass, cannas and bulbs (what is left of them)have a lot. the back of the canna leaf is I think where they rest/sleep, 'cause that is where I see them the most : (. So far I can say they are annoying but I have not seen any damage caused by the flies. We will see.
yardgranny6	Sep 22, 2007 \| 11:14 AM PST My tropical hibiscus have to come inside during the winter and I don't want white flies to get on other plants I will take in. RonsGarden sent me a good pm about treating the plants with Neem Oil. This I bought yesterday and will start the treatment today. That should take care of those little critters.
Rashell	Sep 23, 2007 \| 9:11 PM PST I have to look up Neem Oil...not sure what that is. Understandable, you would want to get rid of the flies before you take your hibiscus in. I wanted to clean the dirt around the canna, the flies were all around me & on me. I wouldn't want that in the house.
