Flowers

(As much for my memory as anything.)
I got the quick garden tour from the house seller today. She's a Garden Club member (am I intimidated yet?), so I think she was pleased and flattered that it was one of the queries I had about the property.

In only vague order, the following are growing in the back and side yards:
Forsythia, lilacs, perennial geraniums (pink), summer phlox, sedum, clematis, trumpet vine, wisteria, hydrangea, black-eyed Susan, "wagelia"?, japanese iris, boxwood, peonies, mallow, ornamental grasses, hosta, pinks, lupines, raspberries, blueberries, concord grapes, rose of sharon, mock orange, orange daylilies, pink lilies, japanese pompoms, money plants, 2 hollies, rhododendron, azalea, some other things she didn't remember what/where she had put in, and miscellaneous evergreens.

Many of the plants are one-of, that she had gotten cuttings or trades from other garden club members, hence the variety.

They're moving to California; she joked about having plane reservations for her pets. I'm not worried if she takes one or two specimen plants, but suspect that she's probably going to abandon a bunch of extra things that might have gone in a local sale, like the plastic compost bin. We did negotiate on a couple items - she wanted to keep the handpainted mailbox, I asked her to leave the drapes in the Great Room.
