Windsor Companies
The entire grounds of this Lake Minnetonka home was renovated as part of a major home remodel.
The orientation of the entrance was improved to better align automobile traffic. The new permeable driveway is built of recycled clay bricks placed on gravel. The remainder of the front yard is organized by soft lawn spaces and large Birch trees. The entrance to the home is accentuated by masses of annual flowers that frame the bluestone steps.
On the lake side of the home a secluded, private patio offers refuge from the more publicly viewed backyard.
This project earned Windsor Companies a Grand Honor award and Judge's Choice by the Minnesota Nursery and Landscape Association.

Glenna Partridge Garden Design Motherbear is right....The lime green one is sweet potato vine (Ipomea) but I think the red one might be Impatiens walleriana (double red impatiens). They look like little red roses and bloom all summer long. Google the name for more close up pics. I hope this helps!
Maureen Costello Third agreement on the sweet potato vine--which I love because it can grow anywhere and it has a beautiful color in an arrangement!

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Amy Renea to Wake Up Your Garden With Lime-Colored Plants
Sweet potato vine is another creeper or draper that comes in a bright lime shade. Little pops of the vine in potted arrangements can brighten up old-fashioned flowers and make them seem new again.
