Walking Rain
What Was Already Here

The gardens already had two mature pines and several spreading junipers in the front yard, as well as two evergreen Chinese privets, a Spanish broom, and an upright juniper in the back.

A huge Virginia Creeper vine covers the back fence.

There are several aspens in both the side and the back, and a big old cottonwood to shade the house. Along the street there are purple leaf plums and honeylocusts.

Goldenrod / Solidago

Solidago 'Little Lemon' 
from High Country Gardens in spring 2024

Expectations:
A very compact plant, although it has kind of a wild rangy look for a little goldenrod. It gets to only 14 inches high. Supposedly rabbits are a problem.


Experiences:
I put this in the outer circle around the birdbath, next to a blue sage.
