In Need of Color

So this week while I have been recuperating at my parents house, I have been staring at the beautiful flowers and colors in their yard and am aching to add some color to the home we are living in now.
The yard that surrounds our current home has been forsaken for a long time. It is crying out for some attention that I just have not had time to give yet. Not only that but I have never had a yard to plan for, dig in, or plant in so, being completely inexperienced, I have not been in a hurry either.
There are flower gardens in the front and they desperately need to be completely dug up and started over.
In my front beds I would love to put wild flowers, perennials, some pops of color.
Here are some things I would like to find in my yard…

From my parents backyard…
I recently visited a friend whose flower beds are gorgeous and she has offered to help me with my adventure into gardening. The following are from her garden.
I especially like this one, with the exception of the words, it is Straight Out Of The Camera. I am sort of old school I guess and it makes me happy to have a great shot that does not have to be messed with digitally.

I am really hoping to add some color to our yard soon. The artist in me needs more color!!
