    We have lots! The previous owners of the house were part-owners of a nursery, so there were a lot of plants./trees/shrubs. Also, the owner who actually runs the nursery gives us a discount.

    I can't really tell you everything we have, but I will give it a shot
    -azaleas
    -hydrangeas (put in to remind us of our fav. vacation spot), bush type, not flowering yet)-white and lavender lilacs
    -tons of daylilies (not flowering yet)
    -most hostas than we can handle
    -tulips tulips, and more tulips
    -daffodils coming out our ears
    -hyacinths
    -roses (not flowering yet)
    -clematis (not flowering yet)
    -lavender
    -rosemary
    -peegee hydrangeas (not flowering yet)
    -magnolia
    -rhubarb
    -grapes
    -mulberries
    -irises (not florwing yet)
    -snow drops
    -some unidentified flowers
    a gazillion other things I can't remember, including several big trees

    As for the garden, I have covered that in some other threads. We have a lot in there already and a couple more things going in this weekend. There are some things that need to go- we are going to have the nursery take out some overgrown evergreen shrubs, and there is a volunteer tree, not sure what yet, that is too close to the house and needs to go before it gets any bigger.

    Not many so far since we've only been here a year. Getting the fruit and veggie garden took top priority.

    - orange pride hibiscus
    - painted lady hibiscus
    - peach hibiscus

    I also had a hula girl hibiscus, but it died from all the hurricane flooding.

    Potted, I have (moved here with us)......

    - singapore plumeria (frangipani)
    - aloe
    - dracaena (sp?)
    - anthurium
    - corn plant
    - glauca ti
    - one other that I absolutely cannot think of the name of right now!
