Interesting, using the blousy lavender in the front of the arrangement.
Is that lavender or Russian sage?
Pretty plantings beside driveway
Asclepias Syriac a AKA Common Milkweed

Beautiful colors, varying heights, not a stupid mulchfest
Great colors, flow, shrubbery in back, flowers in front
Profusion of color
Love! Blue hydrangeas with pink flowers, lots of green -- no visible mulch, because visible mulch looks STUPID.
Good chiaroscuro of foliage, punctuated by pink! Try to recreate with perennials
Hostas, blackeyed susans
Oak leaf hydrangea! I love those! Nice mix of color with the white flowers
Pleasant, cottagey, perennials
Shade plantings under and around trees,
Lots of color to move the eye around, taller plantings in back
No visible mulch. Complete fill of plantings looks so much better than plant islands in a sea of mulch.
Proliferation of foliage and color, full fill of plants, no stupid mulch fest
