Most gardeners do not have unlimited budgets, Esperanza is no exception. In this case, a decent display is created by an entirely untended, unplanted volunteer combination: the classic orange ditch lily and native elderberries. It won’t win any awards, but you know it doesn’t look bad filling in the distant background. And it didn’t cost anything!

Beautiful!
Thanks! Elderberries are under-utilized in my opinion. Now granted they do tend to move around, but the cream/ivory color is a really nice one and a needed element in early July. They also can be very elegant structures if carefully pruned.
