Last one, also the patio, well, not the patio, but the walkway from the patio which goes around the corner to the right. The camera in the same place as before, just rotated 180 degrees. Yes, the lilies are 'Silk Road' and the pinky thing is my favorite perennial -- Thalictrum aquilegiafolium 'Lavender Mist'. Blooms for at least 6 weeks, and if you deadhead, will re bloom. The true color is actually a true lavender, not pinkie like the pic, and it has bright yellow prominent stamens.

The patio plantings are never finished. It is all annuals (or ever-blooming perennials) and Oriental lilies. Smells really good here in Jun & July! I have 120 pansies planted now where the dahlias and caladiums were. I liked the white & maroon lilies so well because they show up at night (white) and also during the day (color), so I bought some dahlias to match, but they weren't in bloom when the pic was taken. The patio is very important because it's so visible from the house and we spend a lot of time out there.
