Great article Sharon and I remember my cousin telling me that white should be used more in gardens as it makes other colors pop! Her gardens are beautiful!
Your photo's are LOVELY and I can't wait to see your garden when it's done.
I have some of those "patchwork" areas myself
What is the name of the bloom where there are 3 across, the first is datura, the next is a daylily, and then ???? It's stunning!
