My old place I'd focused on Permaculture but here in Retirement-ville I've two courtyards the sizes of a large bedroom and an average Living room to work with. Until 2 months ago my front one was Dominated(literally;>) by a large Crape Myrtle but it's been remove and replaced with a Japanese Maple. I'm really struck with the 'Jade' Echinacea I planted and plan to save seeds to spread this beauty. I've a number of Sinnigia sellovii and it's hybrids from my days in the Gesneriad Society. This African Violet relative can handle hard Freezes as long as the soil doesn't and looks a bit like a small-flowered Foxglove about a 1/2 meter tall. I've a number of them from Yellow to various shades of Pink and Red. Nectar feeders love them! Cheers, Pat
