I love this flower. The purple/blue combination on Blue Lace almost seems photoshopped,it's so perfect.

Pacific Moon Daylily against Hosta "Guacamole"

Kniphofia and Allium "Giganteum" I love this combination

And Triple Hot Papaya Echinacea. I can't believe how well this one is doing!

Your blue lace is wonderful...I can't seem to keep those short ones alive.
Really like your hot papaya as well....just might have to get one of them.
Thanks for the lovely pics.

Thanks, everyone for looking :) I also love delphiniums and they do pretty well for me, so I'll most likely try a few more kinds.
The Hot Papaya overwintered very well for me in a large container. I'm waiting to see if one that has buds is "Coral Reef" or "Milkshake ". I really liked Coral Reef. :)

You surely have mastered the art of combining shapes and contrasting colors. So gorgeous. That delf and the hydrangea combo is masterful.

So pretty. I have planted delphiniums, but not very successfully. Yours inspires me to try again! All your combos are lovely.

Thanks so much for looking ;)
Hi, Kay *waves* I have two other coneflowers that survived the winter and will soon color, so can't wait to see which they are!

girlgroupgirl, thanks so much. I was almost twinkling with happiness at your comment, because I tend to crush my little artistic ego some years thinking I have a brilliant plan, and then throwing together some hideous combinations. Lol. This year I just tossed cosmos into lots and lots of container edges and that looks great, too.

I love the red hot poker and alliums. How are your alliums still in bloom? Mine faded months ago....

Ongreenthumb, mine faded last week, maybe because we had a much cooler spring this year?
