SPOTTED LAUREL

More flowers coming up on the Phlox plant, strange, but not the same colour as the pink one, these ones are lilac.

I have moved the Holly Tree next to the Cypress Tree.  It was too tempting for Benji he has had his teeth round the bottom a few times ready to pull it up.  He has taken the bamboo sticks a couple of times,  I would be so upset if I came out in the garden and find it chewed to bits.

What have I done? "Oh my days" I started to prune this shrub but got carried away, before I knew it all but a few leafs were left below is how it was.  I will not do that again in a hurry.  I know it will grow back because a few years ago Benji decided to prune it with his teeth.  I am not sure who is worse me or him.



Treated myself to a few ever greens today and got this Holly Fern Thought it might look nice.  When it spreads, it will go over the stones.



I love this, I have been looking at getting one of these Spotted Laurels for ages and today, I though, I am going to treat myself to one.  There is one at my Gardening Class and its grown quite big.
