That iris ( I suppose aSiberian irisvariety ( Iris sibirica , Zones 3–9 ) is so vibrant it is well-nigh glowing ! And a pink foxglove ( Digitalispurpurea , Zones 3–9 ) is always the epitome of classic garden beauty .

The way Heidi mixes flowers is so fun ! The various mix of colors , descriptor , and textures make for dateless pursuit . I could pass hours just inspecting this one photo and get a line new flowers and coloration each time I front .

Yet she still make do to accomplish great flora pairings like these lupines growing around a pretty allium peak .

And in another smear , lupines wait as as endearing with gamey columbine , spot geranium(Geranium maculatum , Zones 3–10 ) , and the white bearded iris .
