The placement of the zinnias is the result of my gardening ignorance. I bought seeds for two types of zinnias, "Lilliput" and regular zinnias. I thought "Lilliput" meant that they grew low to the ground - so I planted them right at the edge of the bed. As it turns out, the Lilliput was a reference to the size of the bloom, not the plant!

It was a fortunate accident, I think. Having the tall plants leaning over the walkway is so scenic! It's so fun to get so close to the beautiful flowers on the walk to the door. =)

Below is the street corner in 2011 (according to Google Maps). Look at the way the Mexican Primrose has filled in!! Next Spring this is going to be a solid wall of light pink, nodding flowers. I'm so excited!
