The old lilac is very appropriately in the Jan Garden, as it was one of her very favorites. The Jan Garden at the entry leads to the side of the house where the color scheme makes a transition from the blues, purples, and mauves to a wider assortment of pastels. There is dappled shade through the area, where I find pastels really light up darker spots. I'm continuing the use of lavender and soft blues so the transition is soft and gradual. That's where I'm using most of my pink/apricot daffodils, and the dappled shade seems to help prevent the color from fading. Several of those have finished for the season, but these species Tulips 'Lady Jane' are still in full swing.
