My house sits somewhat close to the street, so the front yard, although long, is not wide compared to the back. Having so much grey when nothing is blooming depressing to me, but to paint them would be really expensive. I'd really like to get them stuccoed and then painted, but that would double the cost. <br />The Bush Morning Glory bloom for about three to four weeks, depending on how quickly temps rise. The blooms get fewer and fewer, and then they're done. Right now they are at their peak.Aiyanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04525758484165324330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269929186047281311.post-60307467818826156612010-03-21T21:32:36.407-07:002010-03-21T21:32:36.407-07:00The Lilac vine is gorgeous.

It's such a huge job though and hardly worth it if the sun fades the wall so quickly. I imagine it is quite a long wall as well. The Bush Morning Glory are beautiful. Do they bloom into summer? <br /><br />The Brittlebush and Penstemon look great together.kate smudgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10564410520744285676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269929186047281311.post-11567787278354132942010-03-20T17:44:38.574-07:002010-03-20T17:44:38.574-07:00I'm glad to see that you have a respite from t...I'm glad to see that you have a respite from the rain and have some flowers. :)Lythrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00200781056851058805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269929186047281311.post-51453954474333715592010-03-20T10:43:38.171-07:002010-03-20T10:43:38.171-07:00Love the bush morning glory and the lilac vine!

Maybe you could do sections of color? Sections that would go well with gray...like maybe a little of the sangria color, and a little of another...I am trying to envision it...I think it could be quite pretty kinda broken up like that...I'm sure with your artistic eye it will be great no matter what you decide! Hey...I hear a bit of optimism in your voice regarding replacing a few of your lost plants. Your garden must look so pretty right now with all of the colors! I just love that purple lilac vine on your gray wall...very very beautiful!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402220963886597754noreply@blogger.com
