Queen Anne's lace is biennial, which meant I had to let this grow in the garden two years before deciding to rip it out. Like so many things I've failed to grow well, it needs more sun than I have.

Also in these images—several varieties of daylilies, daylilies, stargazer lilies, coneflowers (echninecea), bachelors buttons, and daisy fleabane (another weed.) It gave the bed a nicely erratic air, I guess.

The photos, taken in 2000, show the northern bed of the house shot from the east and west.
