At present I wish to share some images of a tiny backyard in an surprising place in my neighborhood. I don’t know who owns it, but it surely’s clearly a labor of affection. Encountering a backyard like that is like getting a beautiful present.
This backyard is nestled beneath two oak bushes in a carveout between a parking zone and an alley, simply off a significant two-lane highway. It’s packed stuffed with eclectic edging and path supplies, crops in pots and within the floor, and half-hidden delights.
The centerpiece of the backyard is a three-level fountain.
A artistic use of branches made this path and edging.
This massive and exquisite hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, Zones 9–11) in a pot have to be overwintered indoors.

This trellis coated with wisteria (Wisteria sp. Zones 5–9) has a little bit pot of oxalis (Oxalis triangularis, Zones 7–10) hung from it with a bent shirt hanger.
Blackberry lily’s (Iris domestica, Zones 4–10) namesake shiny, berrylike seeds are the follow-up to cherry-orange flowers.
