One of the conditions of the pergola permit was for us to put in plants along the fence between us our next door neighbour. Apparently it's for privacy but unless they're standing on their a/c unit, they can't be bothered by us BUT we who are we to argue!
Here are the plants I picked out. This part of the yard is a low spot and can get very very wet. After a big storm it's not unusual for it to get an inch of standing water so all these plants are "water garden" or bog garden rated and are natives for our area. They are a mix of turk's cap, louisiana iris, swamp iris, canna lily, texas star hibiscus and strawberry bush.
And let the digging begin! 
And after we dug in some compost and soil, the plants went in. We've covered the beds in some mulch to help keep the weeds down and give them some definition.
The rock in between the beds is over the existing french (aggie) drain. We also moved the bird bath to this area because it wont matter if it drips water all over the place!Fingers crossed they all survive. :D
