It took a full day, using peonies and roses, and more obscure blooms such as anthurium and achillea.

A reader asked me in the midst of the wet weather what to do with his achillea, which was about to bloom but was beaten down.

On the south side of the garden, against a low buckthorn hedge is a narrower border of sky-blue belladonna, delphinium, buttercups and achillea, with an edging of Chinese pinks.

The long, harmonious slopes and rounded summits of the hills were covered with drifts of a beautiful purple clover, and a diminutive variety of the achillea, or yarrow, with glowing yellow blossoms.

For fine white flowers we have the showy achilleas in variety and gypsophila paniculata, called baby breath as a common name.
