Got the Dragon Wing Begonia planted behind the bridge.
That is the Cardinal Flower on the right and one of the baby Spiderwort is blooming too.
I caught this Freedom Hedge Rose bloom coming up in the middle of the Artemisia Powers Castle, the silver and red is really pretty together.
Remember the Sweet William I bought at the grocery store last year, it didn't have a label so I posted it in the Plant ID forum. When I planted it, there were three in the pot and since some info I found said full sun and some said shade/partsun I seperated them. The one in full sun did okay but didn't come back this spring....this one stayed green all winter and has grown by leaps and bounds. Red doesn't photograph very well, at least on my camera I guess.
Plants not only move themselves to different parts of my garden, they also change themselves to another color.
This Lily came in the package of Monte Negro Lilies but is certainly not the red/black of the others. I do like it tho.

WOW that rose with the artemisia powers castle were made for each other - stunning and I really like the colour of those lilies to.  The more I see of your little 'pond' and bridge the more I like it.

I want a rose-and-artemisia-planting! Only I guess a planned one won't be that successful.  Your dragon looks even happier now he's got some company.

You have a magical garden. I like that.
This will be first year for sweet williams, I'm growing them from seed.
I also like the color of your lilly. Great picts. Your dragon is even happy with some company.

Very pretty Toni. Love the bridge, dragon and especially the Angel wing begonia. My MIL had one that just would NOT stop growing. Your Sweet William comes across as fuschia, but it is beautiful. You are so creative !!!

Love the Artemesia and rose together. You could have not planned a more perfect duo.

Beautiful flowers, Toni! I have flowers that I don't remember planting or they are from a mix and not all of them came. When I was taking pictures today I noticed a few more so maybe I'm just too impatient. dooley

Wow!! The rose one looks like christmas in the summer,,lol.
I like the idea of flowers changing color altogether, sure would be boring to see the same thing over and over again. Thats the beauty of gardening,, sometimes you just gotta wait and see,,lol.
Your flowers look awesome!!
