Flagstones create a welcoming path through the meadow garden. An old rose with electric-pink and white blossoms serves as a stunning backdrop for a single spherical flower cluster of the spring-bloomer Allium ‘Globemaster’.   This low-growing, variegated Sasa bamboo works like a ground cover or turf alternative in the meadow garden. White camassia, also known as wild hyacinth, adds whimsy and grace to the meadow with its vertical spires of flowers. Yellow flag irises play beautifully off the other hues in the garden with their intense gold glo. Globes of Allium ‘Globemaster’ add not just drama, but a much-needed vertical element to the meadow garden. In the background, a garden sculpture stands tall, echoing the flowers’ skyward salutes.
