Getting Ideas for Plants

I've been paying a little more attention to plants these days, because I need to fill in some holes in my yard.

Here are a few of my favorites, and I must say, I have NO IDEA what any of these are called, the conditions they need, or if they even are a good fit for my yard.

I love how this grass looks like a waterfall, soft, and interesting:


This one is kind of blue, and scruffy, but in a good way.   I think it's cute and interesting.

And I encounter this bush all over.  It seems to attract bees.  But I love the blue color of the flowers, and have no idea what it's called.:

Mr. Ho removed the 4 dead trees, so he got paid.  He also talked me into coming back this  Saturday and building a new gate.  I've bought a locking mailbox in anticipation of the event.

 We've agreed on the style of gate, the construction method and the fact I want a real handle this time, not just a cheezy latching mechanism. 

Wish me luck!!!
