A new day brings a new color scheme for the front garden...and, for someone who "doesn't like pink", a lot of pink. A lot of umbellifers, too, but I'm OK with that. Although, you'll see why I made an effort to add more "spires" and "bobbles" during the great spring makeover.

| Same plants with a bit of white coming from Gaura and some Joe Pye looming in the shady background. |

| Same plants, again, with an annual pennisetum to the left--I love this plant close-up, but it doesn't show well from a distance. |

I don't know about how it looks from a distance, but these photos bring me in and make me want to see more.
Thanks James. I hesitate to show the "big picture" as the middle, anchored by the baby hydrangea, is so weak. But wider photos will come.
Does your gaura get mildew? Mine does, every fall. In about a week it goes from being AWESOME to looking AWFUL, which is why I don't have any at the moment...
Becca--I don't know. it's a common plant in the neighborhood and I've never noticed mildew (powdery?) on it. This is my first year growing it and I wonder if it will succumb to the winter wet. I planted it hoping that it would be reliably perennial in my garden, but resigned to the fact that it might only last the year.
