| Here is a corner of our front yard, designed mostly by my husband. It works for me
Here is Eugene de Beauharnais and Carding Mill
Gruss an Aachen and a variegated hebe, another counterintuitive combo
Purple Pavement inside a snowball viburnum
...with Jude the Obscure
Sharifa Asma, plumbago and Ebb Tide
A perennial border with little Devoniensis trying to grow through...
Silvery blue and pink are wonderful together too even if not so unusual. Pretty Jessica and nepeta
But apricot and silvery blue is another one that I wouldn't have thought about. Break O'Day and nepeta
Azalea and bridal wreath spirea bloom together before the roses start.
Here is another spirea and a loropetalum
That's Margo Koster and a cranesbill
Penstemons grow really well here, so here are some penstemon combos Crepuscule

| Beautiful! |
|
| An incredible group of photos! There's too much to comment on so I'll just say you've outdone yourself. Especially love Ebb Tide which I dearly wish I could grow. Ingrid |
|
| Wow!!! Just lovely. I hope my garden looks as luscious and full as yours someday!! |
|
| Hi Masha, As my neighbor and dear friend would say, You are a ROCK STAR! Your garden is so beautiful. Ebb Tide with Sharifa and Heritage with that penstemon, I hope I can copy that. I get the impression that this isn't the forum to have a conversation but, I'm wondering if Pretty Jessica is always that voluptuous or is that a phase in her cycle? Thank you for the gorgeous photos, Kitty |

| Thank you, everybody, for your comments! Kitty, Pretty Jessica always starts out with that cup shape for me. In summer it does not have as many petals as in spring, but the basic shape is still the same. It becomes flatter when fully open. You can look it up on HMF for a better idea. Masha |

| Wow, thank you for the lovely photos- especially the one of Margo Koster. I adore your color combos. Renee |
|
| Great color combos, a beautiful garden. |
|
| This is really beautiful. It is amazing how nice roses look with variegated foliaged plants -- who would have imagined? The Ebb Tide with the clear blue of the sages and plumbago is also spectacular, not to mention Sharifa Asma and Heritage -- all are wonderful in fact. An inspiration. |
