I went through some old garden journal notes last night, and was able to verify that the small flowered (non daisy) plants fronting the daylilies in the two dusk images are Nemesia 'Vanilla Sachet'.

Sharon, thanks for that link to your thread. I really like your variegated vinca! (We have a creek (the city calls it a drainage ditch) running smack through the middle of our back yard. We had both creek banks covered with blue flowered, non-variegated vinca, but changes in irrigation systems resulted in a huge dieback, and we are only just now beginning to recover from that. I love seeing the blue flowers in the spring, though.)

Here is a list of other plants (than those previously discussed) that we currently have in the Moon Garden:

Bearded irises 'Arctic Express' and 'Hidden Surprise' (the latter will probably be replaced, perhaps by 'Nordica')

('Arctic Express')

Iberis
Narcissus 'Misty Glen'
Cerastium tomentosum
White flowered society garlic plants Tulbaghia violacea 'The Pearl' and 'Alba'

Nigella hispanica 'African Bride' (a good self-sower)

('African Bride')


a mislabeled, spring blooming white flowered Erica (it turns somewhat reddish in cold weather, bringing some color to the Moon Garden)
Loropetalum chinense 'Snow Dance'
white-flowering Lantana (on the raised bed wall above/behind the garden)
various Shasta daisies including 'Ice Star' and unknown/mislabeled cultivars (the gophers got the 'Darling Daisy' - DRAT!)
volunteer white flowered Gaura
variegated Euphorbia characias ‘Tasmanian Tiger’ (which needs to be moved as during bloom time it competes with the daffodils)
Dianthus 'Greystone' and 'Fancy Knickers'

Dahlias 'Prince Charming' and 'Eveline'

Thumb of 2013-07-13/Polymerous/7bd6a0 ('Eveline')

Gerbera jamesonii ‘Drakensburg Daisy’
Rosa 'Marie Bugnet' (bought solely because of its deer resistance; I will probably replace it, and/or add other roses once the deer fence is in)
Nemesia ('Vanilla Sachet' all but died out; I added 3 plants of 'Refined Innocence' this spring)
A variegated Euonymous (iirc it is 'White Jade') which I have been trying to grow for a year now (but something keeps eating it)

various white flowered annuals (small bedding dahlias, vinca, Alyssum 'Snow Crystals' - generally whatever strikes my fancy and I have the space available and energy to go plant)

* edited to add the name of the recently added Nemesia
Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom
