Thank you so much for all your suggestions. Sorry I haven't responded sooner, please don't think I'm ungrateful. I've been trying to research all of your wonderful suggestions. lavender lass: Yes, I'm in Spokane. Good deduction by the way. :) The alyssum did quite well and for the most part fit the bill perfectly. I'm just trying to minimize the amount of annuals I plant each year. Gardengal: Thank you for those suggestions, I really like the Saponaria Ocymoides, it is going on my definite maybe list. CMK: Also thank you very much, I'm adding the Origanum Rotundifolum 'Kent Beauty' to the above list. I really like this one too. Also looking at the thrifts that you all have mentioned and for a low growing perennial geranium. If I didn't thank you all individually, forgive me. I do appreciate Everyone's help. :=) Alexis

The house I grew up in had that exact sink (or one very similar) but with legs. My best guess is that it was salvaged from another period house in Seattle or repurposed from the house lolauren researched. To me it looks a bit high sitting on that countertop as the left side drainboard of my Mom's sink was definitely already a full 36" high. If the pictured sink is sitting on a regular height counter (hard to tell from the photo but it looks like it a isn't a regulation height counter based on the edge of the counter visible to the left of the photo) it would be way to high for comfortable use. However, IMHO it's really too bad that sinks of this type are no longer on the market for a dedicated clean up sink. No modern sink I've ever used has beaten that one for ease or use and pure good looks. Thanks for sharing the photo.

you dont mention where you are ... but its brilliant.. that you found local plants to ID .. and put in your garden ... since you have seen them local.. then any good local nursery.. ought to be the place to start .... to find plants for your area .. [and i do NOT count bigbox as a good nursery ... at this point in your learning curve] i see the pine needle mulch.. i suspect you are southern .. or carolina coastal ... but telling us where you are.. is always a plus ... as noted.. there is a shrub forum ... understand.. these are a spring show plant... and within a week or 3 ... depending on weather.. they will just be green for the rest of the year .... most likely.. you should have a couple.. in the various colors ... but.. they should be part of a collection of flowering shrubs that flower over a longer period ... so dont get carried away ... with just this one type of flowering shrub .... imo ... ken ps: also try to figure out ultimate potential ... and plant/site accordingly .. not every shrub stays the size of the babe you buy ... so dont plant them a foot from the house .... https://duckduckgo.com/?q=double+azalea&t=ffcm&iax=images&ia=images
