Re-landscaped lower terrace on west side

With help from John and our neighbor, I removed six Red-Osier Dogwood shrubs that were taking over the bed. I've added some brightly colored flowering plants and some tropical-looking plants. My neighbors see this area more than I do, and they like bright flowers.

Here is the plant list for the area from my rose garden around the corner and to the end of the terraced bed:



3 Phormium – New Zealand Flax
Hibiscus sp. ‘Lord Baltimore’ 
Clematis ‘Kardinal Wyszynski’,  ‘Reiman’ & ‘Charissima’
Lupinus hybrid ’Gallery Blue’ & other varieties
Cottinus – smoke tree
Choisya ternata ‘Sundance’ – Mexican Orange
Hibiscus moscheutos ‘Midnight Marvel’
Vitis labrusca 'Catawba' & ‘Concord’ - grapes
Canna indica – several varieties of Canna lilies
Arbutus unedo
Trachycarpus fortunei - Windmill palm 
4Leucothoe fontanesiana ‘Rainbow’
Leycesteria Formosa – Himalayan honeysuckle
And we always plant Scarlet Runner beans here.
