Azalea + Hyacinth

I picked up a couple of plants on the cheap today. I just couldn't help myself. I got a pretty "Double Crimson" azalea at Stop and Shop for $6. The tag tells me nothing about it, but I put it by the side of the driveway to see how it will do there. If it makes it through winter plowing season then that will be great! I also got some "blue" hyacinth plants at Walmart for $2.50. They look more like a purplish-blue to me, but they're very pretty.

I also got one bed mulched with 5 bags from Walmart. I figure I need at least 10 more to get the rest done, which means lots of hefting in my future.

New purchases:

Grape hyacinth and scilla, pool bed:


Other grape hyacinth patch with barberry:


The sand cherry (can't see the 10 weak flowers on it?) It's going to get at least another year to try and make a recovery:


The wild poppy Terry gave me that I thought had been lost:
