This is a different tree, on the other side of the door at the Golden Corral in Marshall, Texas. These are both Japanese Maples. I was apoplectic! Such beautiful foliage, and they chopped them into these tight, miserable forms. GRRRRrrrrr!
I told you we went to Cooper Nursery in Marshall, too. This is the bougainvillia tree we saw there.
I didn't realize what it was until I saw the blooms on the top.
I wish Bobby would let me have a bougainvillia, I would have a tree such as this.This is a great plant nursery. They have a very pretty little garden close to the entrance to the nursery which is dedicated to the memory of their son. It is just lovely.
I really wanted to pull just a few of these yellow LA iris! I don't have any yellow ones anymore...
One more pic I wanted to show, for it shows an application for sedums. I love this sedum, and I have quite a lot of it, but it is all in pots. Look at what they did with it!
This is the same walkway, with our motly crew discussing the beautiful sedum, probably. We were all impressed with this nursery.
I have to go out and get busy. I am planting some of my sedum in the ground today. Maybe just a little at first....I still have pictures to post. Next: the Austin roses!

Great pics Janie, looking forward to the roses :)
Loved these... I'm with you about messing up the Japanese Maples... people cannot improve on nature... I don't care how round or cone shaped they can cut...UGH! I'd love those yellow irises too... I'll be back for the roses...
Not only did they cut a tree that didn't need cutting into a shape, they can't even cut evenly geometric shapes. Ick.
What happened to your yellow LA iris? I could send you back the ones you sent me. They sit here and have never bloomed. They don't like it here I guess, homesick.
I HAVE to visit this nursery!!!
I love the way they look!
