Orange is a great colour for the garden. It's bold and bright and beautiful. Encouraged by Christopher Lloyd's wonderful book Colour for Adventurous Gardeners, I use it a lot in planting my small garden.
I am really enjoying the orange flowers today, as I sit outside, writing copy for a local business's new website.
It's amazing where the skills learned in writing poetry come in useful - brutal self editing, striving to find exactly the right words - oh, and search engine optimisation as well of course!
Here are million bells
Wonderful snapdragons
achillea
a rather lovely pale rose, with a very decorative snail sitting on a petal
a tangle of roses and million bells
and the first nasturtium of summer.
And especially delicious with your blue woodwork!
ReplyDeleteThank you - blue is a most excellent colour to provide a backdrop for plants!
ReplyDeleteWe have nasturtiums - they have the huge benefit here of not minding being left to their own devices - I love them.
ReplyDeleteThey also taste delicious, rather peppery.
