As noted, colors never seem to clash in nature. <br /><br />Here, I have to "nurtured" blooms. But I am still pleasantly treated to the scent of magnolias, lilacs, and apple blossoms when I go out.

I've been lagging a bit lately and your comments are encouraging.There are no color clashes in nature. I have, however, discovered the value of white flowers to add contrast. There is a white geranium somewhere under the rest. It will reappear once the nasturtiums die back.English Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712384532126551307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652835323489468820.post-44002016538381202452011-04-27T14:21:46.074-07:002011-04-27T14:21:46.074-07:00Ah Friko, We'll have gladioli and canna lillie...Ah Friko, We'll have gladioli and canna lillies; they are already apparent as 2ft tall green leaves. Dahlias are my mid-summer spectacle and then Hawaiian Ginger will perfume my surroundings until Christmas, or later.<br />My potted gardens almost all began as little 4" six packs from the nursery. I overcrowd my pots and they need dividing and separating each year. I do that in October and put daffodils underneath. I have to give away plants or keep buying pots to move them into and I am trying to reduce not expand. I moved 5 pots to our warehouse parking lot recently. Somewhat of a "Tail wagging the dog" situation now, really.English Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712384532126551307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652835323489468820.post-86871387789021876112011-04-27T11:52:47.982-07:002011-04-27T11:52:47.982-07:00Hello:

But, your posts have amused us greatly and offer such variety and quirky insights into life with all its absurdities.<br /><br />Your planted pots are certainly colourful, although we have never thought that pink and yellow make the happiest of combinations. 'Green is a colour' has always been our mantra for outdoors, but perhaps it is time for a change?<br /><br />We are Followers!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652835323489468820.post-77308980566052186462011-04-27T10:38:23.291-07:002011-04-27T10:38:23.291-07:00I can never get over the plants which grow in Apri...I can never get over the plants which grow in April in countries such as yours. Very pretty, surely, but what's to come?<br /><br />But then, if they're 'free' anyway, who's to complain. I've got to go and buy mine unless I grow them from seed; the extraordinary winter has killed off everything, even stuff supposed to be 'hardy'.Frikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167831642088694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652835323489468820.post-32751257854008230892011-04-27T08:46:03.401-07:002011-04-27T08:46:03.401-07:00e, the nasturtiums will fade away as soon as we ge...e, the nasturtiums will fade away as soon as we get consistently hot weather. It's been a good year for them so far.<br /><br />Siliyak, Me too. They are a cheerful and robust weed that allows itself to be domesticated.<br /><br />S&S, I feel as though I can envision the future when I see something new sprouting.<br /><br />Steve, Yep! These are all "come-back" plants, no major intervention required other than fertilizer and water.<br /><br />Kitty, Nasturtiums and forget-me-nots just keep re-seeding themselves and multiplying year to year.<br /><br />TechnoBabe, I drag them around to keep the best ones in sight and to follow the sun or shade requirements as the Earth turns.English Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712384532126551307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652835323489468820.post-12032442770480320732011-04-27T08:37:43.222-07:002011-04-27T08:37:43.222-07:00It looks colorful and cheerful.
