The colorful background of this small pool is so planned that a succession of bloom is assured. The taller flowers 
in this picture are Thalictrum and German Iris. To satisfy the eyes three or four weeks later Jap Iris and stately 
lilies come into bloom. And for the last scene on this little stage these flowers will give way to Chrysanthemums 
and Hardy Asters, with Liatris, Phlox, Hemerocallis Lilies and others to fill the interim.
