Bed A 2018

Bed A has always been a struggle.  A round pot bunker bed at the very entrance to The Acres the hope was that it would be brilliantly blue all year round.  Not so much, but I think I have a plan for the future.  The problem is that it's so wet up front.  I tried iris--too wet for them.  So now I'm trying a different kind of iris that loves wet feet--Japanese iris.  I've also put a lily in there and a pincushion flower.  Next, I will add a Louisiana iris--another lover of wet.  Anyway, it's still a work in progress.  There is a yellow cosmos that re-seeds every year, and a pure white Rose of Sharon on the outside of the bed that is growing and blooming.  And a couple daffodils outside the bed as well.  They start it all.  The pincushion bloomed almost all season from April to September.
