In this view out into the garden from a distance , a PJM rhododendron ( Rhododendronhybrid , Zones 4–8 ) catches the heart with a Brobdingnagian display of pink flowers .
A Nipponese maple grows at the edge of one of the koiponds . The white flowers in the background are from a floweringdogwood(Cornusflorida , Zones 5–9 ) .
Theflowering treeson the left with the yellow flower is the aboriginal cucumber magnolia ( Magnoliaacuminata , Zones 5–9 ) .
Weeping cop beech tree ( Fagussylvatica , Zones 4–7 ) has dark leaves that direct contrast with those around it .
