The Front Foundation Bed between the Driveway and the Front Door
The plans have changed somewhat. Where I was going to put the Red Gladiolus I'm not going to put the glads because I didn't pull them up. I may later but for right now that spot is just empty waiting for an idea.
The other clump of ditch lilies went up to the ditch bed so from the stairs to the bay windows is empty except for a front of the bed line of daffodils.
the red/bronze mums are at the center of the bay window and look good there.
I've removed the purple irises from this bed so it's looking alittle bare. There are gladiolus spaced evenly along the back of the bed. But they need to be moved because they bloom facing the reflected light off of the white siding. So I need something taller and with full foliage for the back of the bed that will look good with the glads in front of them.
I moved the Blackberry lilies over to the sidewalk bed next to the azalea because the azalea needed more shade. And now it has it.
Underneath that window would be the yellow mums. The front of the bed is full of clumps of daffodils and a few yellow tulips. I'm thinking of putting the papaver paeoniflorum (Peony Poppy) behind where the daffodils are since they bloom alittle later. Of course it's a mixed color packet so there maybe some colors that I don't want in the mix but I can live with that. I can always hand polinate the flowers I want and keep them bagged until the seed pods mature. And then I'll have the right colors for the next year.
