January 1: Front Yard Flowerbed

In 2012, I made a picture of the my front-yard flowerbed on the east side of my house for first day of every month.  This year, I'm going to make a picture of the bushes and bulbs on the other side of the house, to the northwest, on the right side of this picture.

 Planted here are a rhododendron, a lilac tree, some evergreen bushes, and hidden against the porch is a small hydrangea.  The lot of them are supplemented by tulip and daffodil bulbs that I put down this fall.  Those that weren't eaten by the local wildlife will provide a hopeful set of spring blooms.

This bed is a work in progress and this year I will document those changes on the first of each month in 2013.  It's front yard flowerbed, part II.
