White and blue spruces and a larch tree shelter this Calgary garden from fierce winds. By the bird bath is a favourite ornamental grass (Calamagrostis ×acutiflora ‘Overdam’) and gorgeous ‘Pink Beauty’ annual mallow (Lavatera trimestris Beauty Series). Yellow evening primrose (Œnothera fruticosa), daylilies, a Martagon lily and stunning Pacific Giant Group delphiniums fill in the rainbow.
