Flower Beds in the Front Garden

My front garden has 4 flower beds. This is one of them right in front of the house. The flower bed has three rows of plants - Tuberoses in the back, Canna Lilies in the middle and small flowering plants like Carnation, Calendula and miniature Dahlia in the front. The Canna Lilies are dwarfs - I have red and yellow plants - they have yet to put up a show of flowers. I think they are a little shy and waiting to get to know the other occupants of the flower bed better before they start blooming.

You can see part of the bamboo in the left of the picture. The whole flower bed can be seen in perspective.




The multi-layered yellow flower of Calendula - so rich in detail and texture.

Red carnations in full bloom - the huge flowers dwarf the plant and put on a great show.

The Tuberoses grow on 2-3 feet long stalks and have a cluster of white tubular flowers that smell really great in the evenings.
