Combining these white daisy-like flowers with hostas and brown grasses gives them an added impact. |
Pink hollyhocks against a weathered board fence -- what could be prettier? |
Yellow rudbeckia combined with grasses and lavender -- difficult to see, but it's out on the sidewalk -- make this display worth a second look. |
