Have a customer who has got me stumped -- every idea I come up with for a plant she doesn't like.

I cannot find the right plant for her. Hoping the collective intelligence of this board can give me the right one.

I have attached crudimentry pic of the area. But essentially, it is a small bed directly in front of her front door in a town house. The bed is 6' x 12'. Opposit the door is asmall 3' SRW retaining wall.

Here are criteria. Hse i is not a plant person so it is difficult to figure out what she wants.

* A dogwood" shaped tree
* Pink Flowering
* NOT weeping

The bed get unsheltered western exposure and is really baked in the afternoons and evenings.

Any ideas on small trees that would fit in this area or a shrub that would be tree like enough for her?
