Here is a small corner which is now teeming with life! With some thought and planning, sometimes several species can be grown close together to create a stunning visual impact in a previously uninspiring spot.
An Alberta gardener set this corner alight with colorful native flowers

As mentioned by CompactFlax:
Despite the captions Hemerocallis is not native to North America, but serves here as a colourful addition, adding some red depth.
Sticking only to native plants doesn’t always give a pleasing result (especially in more extreme climates); it’s perfectly ok to mix them in with nonnative (noninvasive) species to add some variety. Having some native plants is better than a manicured lawn and entirely nonnative species!
I honestly don’t know for this case, I wasn’t able to find more details on the source site
I’m more of a lazy gardener myself, I just throw seeds randomly and whatever grows is fine by me. I just look at it once in a while to remove any invasive species.
