There should also be a paprika yarrow in this picture (my favorite variety), but unfortunately this is my front garden and the hares keep eating the flower buds (I have no problems with hares in the backyard thanks to my dog). The yarrow foliage is there, but the flower buds keep disappearing. I've seen yarrow on lists of plants that hares don't like - nuh uh!
While I could complain, I think that's one of the things I like about gardening - the unexpected challenges that arise in working with nature. The daylilies, yarrow and veronica were all supposed to bloom at the same time, and make a great combination, but it is not to be. A great excuse to try something new next year!
Hmmm ... almost all of my garden endeavors turn out this way, lol. I still think your flowers look gorgeous!
