So the winter did a number on my tropical plants, once again. And my yard just looked ... well ... pitiful! These past few weeks, I decided to dig in and remove all the overgrown, messy and dead-looking things, and replace what I didn't end up just cutting back (such as my Ti plants). Here are some pictures of the progress.

During...


After... Sort-of...

Funny story about these purple petunias in the front; Celeste saw them at the store and just had to have them.



Close-ups of some of our new double hibiscus that I planted in the front bed along the sidewalk.
More Before and Afters...



And for the full frontal view...


More pics to come as the progress continues! I love this time of year!!!
