| These are the Tiger Lillies that grow behind the Coneflowers. The soil is better there and the stiff Coneflowers help hold up the top-heavy Lillies. And on a late summer evening the fragrance is heavenly. It is not blooming yet in the large picture but I also have an enormous chicory plant growing here. If I'm ever out of coffee, I can use the root! |

| In my garden, as in nature, there are blood red flowers next to brilliant fuchia ones, behind bittersweet orange ones. Too bad I didn't wait to take this picture until the deep purple Clematis on the trellis were blooming. I love clematis. They add another tier of beauty and color to the landscape. I have at least eight varieties in various places, one growing up a tree and filling in where a limb has died. Since I try to keep dead wood around for the numerous Woodpeckers, this both visually balances the tree while providing habitat and food for the birds. |

| As if the trumpet vine that lines our little country lane weren't enough, I always have hanging baskets (at least one of which is an orange impatiens) to lure the hummingbirds. It must work. After a short time I can work just a half foot away and they ignore me completely. |
