Backyard Flower Beds

I've managed to get some decent photos of a couple of the backyard beds. The bed next to the stairs was taken in bad light, and you really can't see the color of the plants. But, here they are so far. I'll try to do more as time goes on.  This is three of the five distinct flower beds. The larger xeric area is bigger than all five combined. Pics of that area later.

 Sunny back of the house. The delphiniums are about all that's new in this bed.
 The shady hosta bed is almost all new.
 Two types of bellflowers. The lower mounding one is a survivor of previous years. The tall ones are new as are all the hostas an some of the coral bells.

Peach-colored iris. Just one of a half dozen different varieties.
This is from a few weeks ago and things are growing and looking better. This is a shady bed and steep. I've made some small fences to help stabilize the hill while new plants get established. There is a lot of color here that isn't seen in this poor photo.  Some geum, red salvia, dianthas, coral bells and hostas and two other plants I can't remember. I hope they all live.
