Love the combination of plants, Yani!

What's the little pink one that looks like it is about to flower?

:oops: :oops: :oops: Thanks everyone :) . I'm not confidence to post it in comp before. As I still working out, how to finish the allysum border until beginning of the driveway. Currently I can't plant anything there yet until I can see...what bulbs will pop out there and will I have any spare room to continue Allysum border. It's very easy to grow plants and economical too.

Sam, the pink ones that about to flower is snapdragon (dwarf variety). I had plenty of them last year and they died after hot summer. Perhaps this plant grows from the seeds that scattered around from previous plants.
