LOVE your porch. When the pipevine blooms, it is going to be gorgeous there.

Zinnias would be beautiful along your walkway if they don't get too much water. I don't have much luck with them because they mildew so easily and get brown spots. How about some lavender hidecote? That is what I have ordered to plant along the front walkway at my daughter's house.

Don't you just love those shrimp plants? I have two in the front beds that are like yours, and I have ordered some PURPLE shrimp plant seeds. Mine definitely get leggy towards the end of the growing season but I love them because everyone always stops and asks about them. Here's a pic of mine.
