» Kirk_Johnson - If there are junipers in front, I assume that the front yard is

If there are junipers in front, I assume that the front yard is sunny. If this house is in Coos Bay, have you seen the large Southern Magnolia up near the hospital? I blooms quite well every summer. Southern Magnolias and rhododendrons go very well together, in this climate a mature Southern Magnolia looks like a tree rhododendron. Even the Southern Magnolias in the parking lot of Greer Gardens in Eugene look like this. (Eugene gets much warmer summers than Coos Bay). One of the nice things about the Oregon coast is that most rhododendrons will tolerate full sun, and they will also be happy once the magnolia casts it's shade.

Rhododendrons and Southern Magnolias go fine with daphnes and saracoccas. They look like they belong together. This planting would feel unified.
