Here are some great photos from a gardener in Canada. This is in zone 3. This one has some wonderful colors of delphinium (which is one of my favorite flowers) in front of a weeping birch.

Delphinium in purple, phlox in pink, bleeding heart up front with the light pink flowers
 and I believe the blue is bachelor's buttons.

Lilies

Dianthus

Please email me your garden photos. (Make sure you are from the North: from Pennsylvania up to Canada) I would love to show off your hard work and effort. It will help others with color combinations and finding good plants that fit their location too.  Please give me a narration of the plants you have growing. 

Fall out my window

  This is my garden in the fall.  Right now the flowers blooming in the front are burgundy Chrysanthemums, Galardia or Blanket flower behind them, to the right I planted anuals of marigold. There is also Yarrow blooming towards the stairs. These are good long blooming flowers but only this tall variety. This one lasts from summer into fall and is 4-5 feet tall. 

	This is a summer shot of my garden.  The tall blue spikes are delphinium. Next to those are the tall yellow flowers of yarrow.  The yellow flowers in the center are false sunflower.  The tree is a type of crab apple I believe.  It has small white flowers in the spring and produces a small fruit that tastes like a bitter apple/pear. And in the front at the bottom of the photo are happy, black-eyed susan's.
