Little Yellow House

I've been trying to figure out what this big green bush might be! At first I thought it was a fig, but the leaves are shaped differently. Now, I think it could be a confederate rose. Any other ideas? Besides the beautiful bush, the yellow house caught my eye. Selma has lots of these small, narrow dwellings. I like the yellow paint on this one as well as the shingles and trim. They add a lot to a cozy little abode.

I'm stumped on the big green bush. I thought it might be a fig tree, too. But I love your photo of the yellow cottage! It has lots of interesting architectural details for a small house.

I'd never heard of a conferederate rose, but you peaked my interest, I googled it, and hopefully you will go back and take a picture when it blooms.

I thought I knew what it was but when I looked at mine, the leaves are different. It is a nice photo anyway.

Oh I love the star on the roofline. And the yellow- my grandparents farm house in Western Wisconsin was yellow.

This is such a pretty house!

I think I have seen that plant before, but I do not know the name of it. As lavenderlady said, I hope you go back when or if it blooms.

It is a castor bean tree. You can find many other images of them by doing a google image search.

Thanks, Michael. It may well be a castor bean tree, but it is mighty similar to a Confederate rose as well, and there are a lot of those here.
