A grand mid-summer display

This was the garden bed that greeted us at one of the gardens we visited a couple of weeks ago for theGarden Conservancy Open Days Programin northwestern Connecticut . It scarper alond the entire driveway of this house , and it was sensational . But I could n’t avail enquire what this layer see like for the quietus of the season . I had a chance to speak to the householder , and she say that this total bed is filled withdaffodilsin natural spring . Thedayliliesandblack - eyed Susansstart to issue soon after and their leafage hide the melt foliage of the daffodils . Now that I think about it , a depository financial institution of solid viridity for a couple of month before they start to bloom would n’t be so sorry . But I bet there ’s something she could tot to bridge the gap . What would you indicate ?
