Nandina or Myrtus?

 

Neither Nandina nor Myrtus, Rose 'Queen of Elegance'

Which shrub to hide the pipes by the front door? 

 There are two in the garden that could possibly be movable.  A Myrtus communis 'Compacta':

Or a non-flowering Nandina:

Guessing the Nandina would be easier to move, which is likely the deciding factor. 

From this angle, the pipes are not visible.  A plain green shrub would be fine, since the area is quite flowery already: 

As I ponder, just pictures of the usual spring beauties.  

We got 0.36" of rain on Sunday.  It was most welcome!

The area under the Acer 'Oshio Bene' looked great all winter.  Now that the Alstromerias are emerged and flowering, it still looks great.  I am not bragging.  The plants did this, not me.  

Yellow Clivia flowering as well:

First Agapanthus flowers--they seem early this year:

Clematis 'Polish Spirit':

This will soon be a cluster of grapes:

I wondered for months if this Alstroemeria would ever flower.  It did:

Gaillardia 'Arizona Sunrise' with Teucrium cossonii:

More and more flowers on Calylophus 'Southern Belle':

Leucospemum 'Blanche Ito':

Cactus unknown, loooooovve those flowers:

And of course, 'The Ambridge Rose':
