The childlike sprite in this fountain takes on an air of mystery when surrounded by dark-stemmed aquatic plants and ornamental grasses. It's a natural inclination in the autumn and at Halloween to adorn your yard with chrysanthemums and gourds. For a change of pace, try plants that have deep purple or almost black-looking foilage. They add drama to your outdoor space, especially when grouped with lime green or chartreuse and orange.
