Somethings Turn Out Right Others Even Better
Sometimes things you plain turn out right sometimes they turn out even better. This combination of Annabelle Hydrangeas and Asiatic lilies are certainly one of them.

A great site in Our Serenity Garden ! They colors explode out from the Hydrangea background and it certainly is a car stopper as people drive by. In the original landscape plain the Hydrangea where ment to stand alone but as an after thought I planted the Asiatic Lilies to give it a bit more color. This is the second year for the lilies and they have really come into there own!
Sometimes the best garden designs are those that just happen as an add on. In this case it worked out well. The great thing is, had this turned out to be not such a good design the lilies could very easily been dug up and moved to a different location after they had bloomed and it would be a new lets see how it worked next summer.
Yesterday I was talking to a young gal and she was telling me about her garden. Her and her husband do not have a lot of money and they are starting out but she has gotten a lot of transplants from friends. They have a small preformed pond they want to install this summer and she was worried about plantings around it. She has a couple of roses that she wanted to plant and said that several people told her that they would not look good by the pond. Why Not? I told her that it really does not matter what others say the garden she is growing is hers and that is who it needs to please. I told her she could have a professional come in and design it based on her likes and dislikes and that would be all well and good but the professional would be designing from their perspective. What ever she likes is what she should do and not worry about what others tell her. A garden is your space your place to unwind , enjoy, and renew yourself.
