The lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea' that I mentioned as a possible container
plant also looks great in the ground. Mine is a young plant and is reaching
out in a sort of starburst pattern. Every now and then I go out and remove
any "arms" that disrupt this design. It lies alongside a bird bath which I
have placed on the ground, partially obstructing a portion of the
"starburst". Behind them is a miniature rose with yellow flowers. Black
mondo grass makes up part of the picture, too, as well as other miniature
roses in salmon, red orange, and dark red. I'm awaiting the arrival of
bellamcanda (sp?) lilies in yellows and oranges, and there are orange and
yellow dwarf kniphofias in there, too. It's a great spot, small, and
wonderful to look out on from an inside north window. It's just out of the
shade of the house.
I'm curious what colors and combinations are favored by the gardener above
who has yellow flower nightmares.
