In my defense, the area that Arum had cleared of mint last weekend was looking pitifully bare. But naturally Home Despot has some cheap this'n'that and I picked up 3 bluish-purple pincushion flowers (Scabiosa) and 3 yellow perennial wallflowers (Erysimum) to match the color theme and fill the gaps.
As usual I got to the garden and realized I got the wrong stuff: I should have got more yellow and less purple items. Oh well. I put them in, and moved over three Agapanthus "Tinkerbell" (Dwarf Variegated Agapanthus) that were moping in the front bed under some mean old Gaillardias. I also slid over a clump of lamb's ears (Stachys byzantina) and some Pacific Coast iris (Iris douglasiana) to complete the look. I doubt it will be thick and lush by the tour, but at least it won't look pathetic and bare! Pic shows end result - poor old Princess Plant (Tibouchina) is still looking a bit shellshocked but she's bouncing back fast, and the bush daisy (Euryops) should come to the rescue to hide her naked trunk soon.
