I'm so happy to be back - this is one of the threads with really kind and inventive and enthusiastic people - such fun.

I put in a pile of nasturtiums in my front bed that wiped out the Bernice I had there, but I had three in my side bed and they are outrageous this year. Much to my shock my front bed is packed with nepeta, Bernice, lilies and the successful installation of the red rose Tess of the 'Durbervilles. I actually have trouble wading into the bed to deadhead. This is only my third year here, and there was nothing there but adenophora and a pear that I removed - what a wonderful problem.

And then the lilies started opening and the Bernice, gorgeous as it is, actually became a BACKDROP!
