Thank you DonnaMack. The colors in the garden are starting to fade a little here as the weather is becoming harsher. I just realized, with the help of this thread, how much my profession as a colorist for a design firm has clearly influenced my gardening. I always felt the influence from the garden on my art but didn't see such a clear example the other way before.

The white roses are lovely. The iceberg rose really grew in one year. I like the idea of your white rose garden with white annuals as accents with the pine and grass backdrop. I am also drawn to choosing white flowers and plants that have variegated foliage with white touches in my shade garden.
You are very lucky to have neighbors who gardens with your garden, plants and experience in mind.

Sorry you lost your paperbark maple Pagancat. The redbuds will look perfect with the pines behind. It is wonderful to be able to reproduce natural combinations of plants in your own garden.

The Mediterranean White Heather at the base of the grasses on the side walk strip is evergreen and can bloom all winter starting in October. The other evergreen ground cover is moss phlox that blooms in the spring,
