Flowers that love to bake ~ zinnias pack a big punch of color and petunias have all sorts of color, and fragrance, if you shop with your nose. There's also lots of different echinicea colors. And there's always moss rose for ground color.

If you want lilies then by all means plant them. Shorter lilies would be OK but might lean a little. Here are mine with a southern exposure and no overhanging eves, leaning ~ I just don't understand that! You might do better since they'd have a bright background from the house.
