What are some creative ideas for a flower garden?

I am having a 850 square feet flower garden, and it is going to bed english/cottage style. its going to be mostly "elegant" flowers, like roses, lavender, eustoma, lillies sweet peas, angelonia, foxglove ect, that all bloom in summer, and are all shades of pink, purple, or white. there is also going to be a small fountain in the middle of the garden with a a rock walk way to and around it, made with rocks with mother of thyme growing between them . also the garden will be surrounded by a short lattice fence, and border like flower bed that it 8 feet up sitting on poles going all around the lattice fence with morning glories hanging down from them. And at the back, is a tall lattice fence 8 feet high with clematises growing up them. and also a arch at the entrance. i'm in zone 5 ontario canada. any creative ideas, or good plants to add will be great! thanks in advance.

What are some creative ideas for a flower garden?
create rooms with evergreen hedgeplants like boxwoods, and interesting mini junipers and spruces. backbones. Decorative elements that are a nice surprise at certain turns in your pathways. And a secret water feature that you can hear but have to explore the beautiful areas you have created to find it. Ornamental grasses lend texture, sounds, and also low maintance.
Reply:Don't forget the smaller scrambling clematis such as Clematis texensis and C. viticella. These require very little attention and will use other plants for support without swamping them.
Reply:It sounds lovely and that you have thought things out in detail. You might consider Nepeta 'Walker's Low', a Butterfly Bush, and some Peonies. I think they all have an old fashioned look and would look well in the type of garden you are creating.

Reply:Water evaporates from fountain. Have a circulation for the water from a resevoir or have float system to refill when low.
