What are you favorite Colors in the garden?
Comments (34)I plan, plan, plan my gardens making charts with colors available, size, leaf shape, leaf color, time of bloom etc. Draw up grids and layout plans before planting out. Since ws my planned gardens are slowly turning into a bit of a jumble as I look for a place to plant more sprouts. I call my gardens cottage gardens though they are probably too planned for a cottage garden. I used to hate pink flowers and loved bright yellow and red and whites. About 10 years ago everything changed. A new home and garden and suddenly the pink varieties called to me. Reluctantly I started planting pink. Now when I see several of the same plant in bloom in various colors the pink one is the one I want. Also love soft yellows, all shades of purples and blues and whites, silvers, browns, blacks, shades of green. Reds are nice but play a smaller part in my beds. Love red, bright yellow, white, blues together. Am making a red bed this spring with the plants that I have collected and seeds I will be sowing. I like the idea of a white moonlight bed but not sure that it is one I will make. Orange is the one color for which I do not care though I am slowly adding a bit of orange and trying to learn how to incorporate it in ways that are appealing to me. I tell myself that pale orange dahlia is apricot but there is no denying the bright orange Profussion Fire zinnias that I planted in isolation in my veg. bed. Grew to like those zinnias. Green blooms are not attractive to me, either. Didn't care for 'Envy' zinnia or bells of Ireland. I would put them in a cutting garden to be used as contrast in bouquets but not in my beds again. Some chartreuse foliage plants look very nice. Others like the heuchera Tiffy mentioned also look sick to me. As well as some of the orangy/rust heucheras. Variegated plants are attractive and will include them. OK, I should have just said, everything but orange....See MoreHow do you like the color of my new truck ;-)
Comments (4)I love the blue! I agree that hand trucks are a 'must have' in the garden! I used my plain old black one to haul the alfalfa pellets out to the garden. I just can't pick up a 50 pound bag any more!...See MoreDo you like the colors of your potted Aloe plants?
Comments (11)Rob, I can see such pretty blue hues coming from that one. It's beautiful. Here are a coupel others I really like for color... I like the blues and green and how this one opens up a bright color in the middle of light green. It changes colors with the season. This one is the same as above only no variegation which is strange. More of blacker, mocha leaves called the 'black gem' Also a black gem with varying colors...Funny no stripes or white like the above pictures I first posted, but all from the same plant. More deep greens and purples and mocha....See MoreDo you like the paint colors with the flooring?
Comments (4)Do you really love gray? You are committing to a gray color scheme by using it for your major/fixed elements. Will you still love it in a couple of years when the trend has moved on to something new? Production builders are all doing gray right now, so it won't be long before gray becomes the new Builder's beige that the gray trend replaced....See More- 7 years ago
