Yes -- you are exactly right. I realized after I posted this that I had posted about La Folie late last summer/early Fall in the what was then the "red garden" -- '06 was all about red/orange flower tones, offset by lime green sweet potato vine and variegated coleus.

We changed palettes this year, spinning off the colors of the cottage and then sparking things up a bit with some red/pink/coral. It's nice and bright and cheerful, though you'd never know it with all these grey cloudy-day pictures just now. And this year we have grass! around the cottage! and a passiflora vine that's just insanely happy climbing up one side of it.

Here's the cottage inside, this morning. I think I've added quite a bit to it since last year. We're about to do a faux tin ceiling via a wallpaper that mimics the textured pattern and effect. Maybe painted white; maybe painted silver. Not sure!
