Ended up with a Hot Wings Tatarion Maple for the front, and a Northern Catalpa in back.
Wanted to go a bit bigger than 25 gallon buckets on them, but couldn't handle 45 solo really and they wanted 250 or more to deliver it 2 miles down the road and plant it. (No option to just drop it off at my pre dug hole)
Is that a bearded lily?
No, unfortunately it is not. Although the genus iris is very eyecatching! I have very early memories of this variety of iris in my yard.
