Beyond the garden gate lies a world of secret beauty and passionate obsession.
Sisrinchium stiatum and Tanacetum parthenium (Feverfew) cheering up a corner of the west border.
Phlox, Bright Eyes in bud, echoing the smoke bush behind.
Another easy to love rose, rosa, Fairy.
Two of the three fuchsia’s Snowy Summit that span the east side of the patio. An annual indulgence. 
Rosa Glauca, typically in bloon and seed at the same time.
New planter and new plants for the sun deck. Martha Washington geraniums, petunias, alysums, volunteer sedges, and coleus, Garnet Robe . Pretty rosy!
New fuchsia, “Blackie (Midsnight)” on the front patio.

A close up of narcissus Green Pearl. The delicate fragrant beauty is part of a small, slowly increasing clump pictured below under the apple tree.
