Ah, now I see what you mean Diana! I thought you meant the standard institutional-landscaping line of a single annual across the front. (See the pic. While it's still beautiful, the line doesn't fit and ruins an otherwise natural cottage garden feel.) Clumping them and varying the colors like you've done there would be very pretty.

@Ked, regarding the symmetry, I was thinking the same thing - looks like you might lean toward neat and tidy. =) So maybe a more organized arrangement would work.
Thanks for that other pic. I would recommend that whatever annual flowers you choose, and a few of the others, you include in your garden area on the left as well. Even if they aren't exactly symmetrical, if you repeat them there it will make the whole front of your home look more cohesive.

Could you upload a pic showing both beds, the whole front of the house?
