READER PHOTO! An arch completes the garden

Today ’s photo is from Gail Gee in Fulton , Maryland . She says , “ This domain of my garden is set in all coolheaded colors – pink , blues , and silvers . The bed is heavily engraft with May - blooming peonies and late June- and July - blooming day lily and phloxes . The path in this border is close to 80 feet long . I divided the bed into smaller planting bay tree , since I encounter myself walk thru the boundary line too apace . Since the garden is comparatively new , I was lacking top in the area . I also wanted to tot something that would flower in June and would not require replacing the existing planting . Adding this simple arch with a ‘ Blushing Lucy ’ rose has accomplished everything that I wanted . ” Thanks , Gail , for share your garden with us !
