NICE

pretty!

Very nice ge and dragonfly. This is my third year with flowers and the first really doesn't count as it was pitiful. Haven't done combos--only mass plantings of asters, strawflowers and zinnias all grown from seed as well as a few dozen dahlias. Don't know where to start with combos. How did you decide? Browse catalogs, nurseries and botanic gardens? Grew this and decided that would work with it? Copy from others as I think I'll do with both of you....all of the above? Size and timing of blooms is what looks insurmountable right now.

All of the above and posted my own thread to get others to come to me for a change.
lol *-)
I have a new coleus I love Black Night.
I have been putting plants in the ground for 40 years and it was trialand error until I found DG.
Combining annuals is a no brainer as they all have the same season for the most part. I still have to concentrate mor on finding Perens that compliment my lilies bloom time.

ge, you just about said it all. I have done gardening and painted pics and taken photos and skimmed through mags all my life and I am retired so thats a long time. I just more or less do my own color combinations even when I paint from a pattern book, I get the outline and do my own thing not thiers. Also there is a lot of trial and error. I only have one more container and I do it the same every year with caladiums. BEV

Bev! as a painter your placing the light Caladiums against a darker background is just the right thing to do.
It always works.

Great combos. I'll have to look for some to post. Here's one I just put on the garden photos thread. Lavender and Gaillardia Oranges & Lemons.

Always a winner with your photos Victor.

Thank you, Jo Ann.

After Midnight cone and Midnight Rose heuchera.

Victor love that heuchera and coneflower combo. Does the MR do well for you and how much sun does it like? Thinking of getting some next year.
Delphs, 'Terra Cotta' yarrow and 'Coconut Lime' echinacea. Blues/yellows and purple and orange are my fav combo this year.

First year for both of them. Al told me After Midnight did not return for him. Hopefully better for me. I like Coconut Lime and it seems to return reliably.

Unless farm and garden combos are allowed. Then its bacon, lettuce and tomatoes.

victor after midnight cone is one of my favorites - comes back strong for me - one of the keepers i won't give away to my neighbor if it comes up from the seed heads i left on.

Good to hear!

This Zenobia shines in front of Hibiscus Kopper King.

Are those leaves really that blue green?
What a combo. Really beautiful

Thanks. Yes - silvery blue-green. Really a cool, underused plant.

Nice! Reminds me a little of rose campion, but greener...

Saww this today.
