COLOR

Color has always been important to a lot of People. 

Everything has color in our life from a traffic light to a tree.


Flowers especially, have many colors  they brighten  up our gardens and give joy to many people.


Warm and cold plants:


Yellow, orange, brown  & red  are warm colors.   Blue, Purple, violet  & green are considered to be cold plants   but they go beautifully together.


We then  go into other shades  like-  Apple green,  lilac, cherry red  & mauve to name a few.


There are hundreds of different variations of color.


We sometimes take Color for granted  but as you can see by my pictures of the flowers and their colors there is much to be enjoyed.


The wealth of color in summer is almost overwhelming, Perannials Annuals & Bulbs  create   excellent displays while climbers and wall shrubs cover walls, trellises and pergolas with bright flowers .


Opportunities abound during summer to mix plants in colorful combinations  Cinereas, Lilies, Rhododendrons, Primulas, Hydrangeas & roses make wonderful  colorful displays.  


Even white is beautiful…………….
