Sow a quilt

Some flower beds at Reiman Gardens have their own quilts this year. Fourteen beds have been planted to recreate such popular quilt designs as the wedding ring, maple leaf, weather vane, grandmother's fan, double pinwheel and windmill's crossing. Photos by Bob Elbert.

Around the Twist (Cuban oregano and golden moneywort).

Double wedding ring (coral bells and blue wave petunias).

Card trick (globe amaranth and pink polka-dot plants).

Double pinwheel (cockscomb and floss flowers).
