Orange

Libby's goal this year was to have "orange" in the garden, so herewith, orange...

 These little moss roses are tucked amongst the peonies and other plants in the front garden.

  
This milk weed-related plant variety was one of the "big" purchases this year.

 
The day lilies have been here since before we arrived; they are well-established.  They are located in two places: here near the barn, and up on the corner of the lot, near the street intersection.  A couple of years ago a woman stopped by to take a picture of them: her dad, apparently, had been the one who planted them originally.


 
Libby planted nasturtiums around the garden last year, and they thrived.  A couple of plants came back from seeds this year, including this one.  We transplanted it out of the garden and into the raised bed.  It seems to have managed the move okay.

There are a variety of colors of pansies in the two planters beside the stoop, most importantly this year, the orange.
