Where did you get the soil for that bed? That's most likely the answer.

I don't have much in the way of flowers. A rose that was here when I 
moved in 8 years ago. It has its own trellis and produces smallish,
deep red (almost purple) flowers. And the surprise lillies which surely
surprised me when they poppedout of the ground and flowered the first 
time. They were in front of the decorative hedge that I just disappeared
so I'll have to be sure not to locate a planter on top of thhm.
