Pics 1 & 2, before and after: 3 Little Lime Hydrangeas have been patiently waiting for their spot to be cleared of 2 favorite daylilies and lots of junk.

Pic 3, the rest: Across the back, grasses, Phlox, Japanese Aster, Perennial Sunflowers (a rampant self-seeder and 2 runners. I hope I won't be sorry!). Middle: a long arc of daylilies, very early to mid-season, some bi-colors. I tried to stagger the colors in clumps across the bed. To the left and behind them, Siberian Iris. The plan for the front is dwarf iris, sedums, other lovers of hot and dry.

Pic 4. Prevously each large clump was one type, each blooming at different times..

Pics 5, the long view: Lots of blues, lavenders and purples should knit everything together, at least that's the idea now. Another work in progress...
