Do you know your variety? There are so many, it's hard to choose... I can't decide between one that has yellow foliage in the fall or one of the red ones, or a purply one like yours. They're all so beautiful!?! <em>Hi Karen, I think a Japanes maple would be perfect to replace your crabapples!

That rose is absolutely gorgeous and the Campanula 'White Clips' is absolutely beautiful. They look like little fairy hats to me too! :) <em>I love the rain drenched plants as well PGL. That was why I ran out when I could today. The garden always looks so different after a good rain. That particular rose is one of my favorites because of how wonderful it smells. I just love campanulas and when I saw that this one is a dwarf I snatched it up. -Cynthia</em> I love the way plants look with raindrops.
