When we first bought our house 4 1/2 years ago, my husband and I spent the first spring putting in lots of flowers beds because our house was new construction and everything was pretty bare.  That summer I got pregnant and haven't had much time since for gardening.  However, I am reaping the rewards of our hard work.  These are some of my favorite flowers, not only because of their beauty, but also because they bloom most of the summer (with the exception of the Stargazer Lily).
