It doesn't show up in this picture but the pinkish-reddish stems of the sedum really pick up on the pink of the dianthus flowers. I was going for textural contrast here but the extra colour repetition was a happy surprise!

The lamb's ears are having a really great summer here. They are a bit finicky for Alaskans and won't reliably winter over, though most of mine made it. My dianthus and catmint are blooming now as well, though I haven't made a combo of them (yet) as you have.
