while my back was turned

Truly the gods / dogs use us for their sport.

I noticed this part of the front garden the other day.  It has developed itself into a pretty little picture while I've been working on the back garden and leaving plans for the front garden in limbo.  First it was to be a rainbow garden, ie a red bed, an orange bed, a yellow bed, etc.  The area above was to be the red section, hence the geraniums behind the japonica.  Then I decided on a blaze of marigolds with cornflowers / nigella / borage interspersed.  But then the lupins came, and I've always wanted lupins.  So I put it all on hold and it went its own sweet way.  I had decided to blog it as above and entitle it as above.
While I went out to take the photo, The Pharoah Dog helped herself to the pieces of flake I was cooking for my lunch.
