What are the two yellows flowers inside the bed?

That is really beautiful, the rings and beds.

I am surprised that my wife has not offered to take a week off and come over and help plant in your beds! :)

Achillea "Tutti Frutti" has tight heads of individual tiny blooms that range from butter yellow to coral. The foliage is very frilly and fern-like and moves at the slightest breeze. That's why I chose that one.

The bright yellow is Coreopsis, and I liked the dense growth habit and multitude of flower buds.

The beds look a little sparse right now, but I planted so that everything should touch slightly when it grows to size.

I'm going back later this afternoon for some more lilies and hostas. A bargain like that is hard to pass up. My husband is going to kill me. I am concentrating on the flower beds and neglecting the vegetable planting, but I am having so much fun with the flowers and veggies almost seem like work to me right now.
