This is an example of a mid-sized traditional full sun backyard landscaping in Chicago for fall.

Behind the pond is a storm drain at the lowest point of the two adjoining yards. Last year we built a berm around it to prevent storm water from entering it and put two rain gardens surrounding it. In front of one of the rain gardens is the pond. Water sheets down the backyard lawn, into the pond, and then overflows into the rain garden. Species in front of the pond are Southern Blue Flag Iris and Marsh Marigold. Behind the pond in the rain garden are only two species - Brown Fox Sedge and Cardinal Flower (if you look closely you will see the red flowers).
