Echium vulgare and bumblebee
What happened was that about 85% of the listed varieties did not come up, and instead I had an immense bed of very beautiful, very weedy, and very invasive, Echium vulgare.
I didn't even know what it was called then, I just know it took me 2 years to eradicate it, when my garden plan became a little more sophisticated.
Even so, this Bumblebee seemed to enjoy it very much.

This is a wow plant even in its first year. The flowers are really eye popping and I'm hoping for lots more next year .. sort of a privacy screen with a "punch" of colour ?

The colour of this rose is amazing. I like plants that don't nessesairly blend in to the colour scheme .. because I don't have one .. this is a plant zoo ! .. so what ever plant strikes me I try to find a place for it.
