2 of 17: Canna, Wyoming, get a pretty orange flower. I like it for the foliage, it adds drama to the gardens.

3 of 17: Sedum, Purple Emperor adds that burgundy that I am trying to weave through the gardens. Adds color all the time.

9 of 17: Crab apples that don\'t drop. Looks so pretty with snow on them. Except the squirrels have found them this year and eat them ALL before the Fall season is over.

15 of 17: I use Ladies Mantle as a ground cover. I love how the dew drops collect on the leaves.

16 of 17: The hot pink plant is the Bloodleaf (houseplant). I use it to brighten up all areas of the garden. But it doesn\'t like intense sun. The Great Blue Lobelia is a thread through my gardens at this time of the season.

17 of 17: Goldenrod against the white bark of the Aspens. I make sure I deadhead the Goldenrod before it goes to seed.
