I like colorful flowerbeds.  That sounds pretty.
I don't know about your Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.  I've heard you have to bring them indoors here.  It would be a miracle if it made it but miracles happen. 
This year my plants seem to look better than ever.  At least the ones that are coming up.  Maybe they liked all that rain.  My lilies look like they have made lots of babies. 
I'll have to pot some up for our spring swap.
