Never can have enough, as far as I'm concerned.
Here's a beautiful one I bought last year that is just starting to open.

Beautiful! Can’t wait until I can show off my roses to you, later this season. No bunny ‘pruning’ over the winter, so I’m already ahead of the game! :)
Does the ‘Sticky Monkey Flower’ come in a ‘Cheeky Monkey’ version? LOL! Always loved that British phrase for, ‘smart aleck.’
Companion Planting Case Study:
The Three Sisters Garden
A perfect example of companion planting is the “three sisters garden”, which is a combination of corn, pole beans, and squash that has been grown together by Native Americans for centuries (possibly longer).
Think about what each plant needs to grow into a healthy vegetable.
Corn requires plenty of space to grow.
Beans need a support system for the stalks to grow straight.
Both squash and corn thrive on nitrogen, which typically does not flourish in sandy soils.
Now, let’s think about how the vegetable compensate for their growing deficiencies.
Corn offers string beans the sturdy support to grow straight. Think of a cornstalk as a naturally developing trellis that ensures string beans remain upright.
String beans absorb nitrogen from the surrounding air and replenish nitrogen-deficient soil. The upward growing vegetables also act as a bind that keeps the Three Sisters close together, further enhancing the space you have to grow other crops or raise livestock.
Sprawling squash creates copious amounts of mulch that cools and moistens the soil.
Squash leaves also contain prickly stems that thwart the best attempt of critters such as raccoons from enjoying sumptuous meals.
