Unfortunately, mine doesn't. It has been sadly neglected for awhile cos' my husband was deployed and it was hard for me to spend much time outdoors with a little one to tend to. But we're determined to make it look good this spring. We're planning on planting some perennials and lots and flowers. I'm thinking of daffodils, tulips and hydrangeas for this spring. We're looking to even getting an arbor and planting wisteria. Not sure yet. I love roses but don't like how thorny they are. I don't want my kid hurting himself there. We don't have much money to buy stuff so we have to work on getting cheap plants and flowers.

Off to the side by the stairs & driveway I have Hostas,an endless summer, and a few other neat plants WITH A FEW MORE ASIATIC LILIES. yES YOU COULD SAY i LOVE ASIATIC LILIES. hahaha . Off to the bedroom next to the LR in front I have more hostas, lillie of the valley and a couple other plants I cant recall their names. I think columbine or sumtin like that. LOL.
