We moved into a house about a month ago and after finally unpacking our
boxes, I have gotten around to tending the yard. The previous owner
did significant landscaping but did not leave me with any instructions
as to what was planted or how to care for it. I attempted to use
various sites to help me identify stuff, but it is a slow process and
some of the plants need urgent attention. So, I turn to you, the
members of rec.gardens to help me figure out what I have in my beds.
Some of the stuff looks like it isn't doing to well and I really need
help figuring out what it is and what I should do to save it. I have
uploaded the images (linked below). Each is about 1 MB in size (if you
can help but the size is too big, let me know). I live in Northeast
OH.
I will be checking this thread frequently if more pictures or
information is needed. If you can help identify or advise about any or
all flowers it will be appreciated.
Thank you so much!!!
