Lavender and buttercup on the Victorian Veranda

The neighbor's angel's trumpet tree is now blooming, greeting visitors to his unique entranceway with its delicate, evocative fragrance.
The lavender-colored flowers on the creeper beside are an exact match for the paint on the door, which just sings out to me, as if it said 'we are in love here', we reflect each other'.

I'm so grateful to this man for rebelling against the prescribed heritage colors expected of us in this street, making me believe life can be colorful.
I'm now planning an edible Japanese garden to plant in my entranceway. Getting 'Japanese' to co-ordinate with my colorful front door is the creative challenge. Which plants to choose for love and connection, fragrance and deliciousness?
