My Five Favorite Flowering Shrubs

Number 11 in the #21in21 Challenge. Even before I planted any of the annuals and perennials I talked about yesterday, I put shrubs and small trees into the garden. I tend to like scented plants, and love finding more unusual varieties. I like the plants that you don’t see every …
