Clashing

We didn’t know the colour of this rhododendron when we planted these Pinks & Alliums……the colours clash a bit but I quite like that strangely.
I have been weeding this afternoon. It takes me a while to decide I have to do it but once I get going I like it.

Three good things:
1. The fencer chap has been this afternoon…another day & he will be finished.
2. I bought a pair of shoes at half price in Edinburgh…purchased with Harrys full price ones. Decided they were too tight so they have gone back today for a refund. Quite a palaver when bought in a shop without a customer number but hopefully will go through ok.
3. The library van has been….six books chosen, I am determined d to read some of them & keep off my kindle! Buying books mounts up in cost!

What a gorgeous rhodo as a backdrop to your plantings. How lovely to have the library van visit. The library is a favourite haunt of mine.

A beautiful clash of colours - at one time I liked everything coordinating , but now I love a riot of colours all together -- I have one corner with a bush of shocking pink flowers ( forgotten its name ! ) blue/purple aquilegias , orange marigolds , and big bright orange poppies ! - I just love it ! -- its my take on "when I grow old ,I will wear purple and a bright red hat " !!

I’m like you, I like the red and pink. It’s lovely.

[Judith Johnson]

What a stunning rhododendron. Did you really just plant it fairly recently?

[Joan Robillard]

Lovely

[Pat Knowles]

@busylady No it was here already Judith….we had no idea what colour it was till it flowered that’s why there are clashing colours!

[Boxplayer]

Such a beautiful deep red.

[Carole Sandford]

Those rhododendrons are a fabulous colour!

[Maggiemae]

Somehow the shade of the two colours merge nicely! I wouldn't like marigolds here though!

[Phil Howcroft]

the reds and purples work well Pat

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae
No Marigolds in my garden, I don’t like them! 🤣🤣🤣

[Babs]

We have clashes like this in our garden too, but the colours still work well.

[GaryW]

I like the contrasting colors!

[Issi Bannerman]

Beautiful colours and what a great combo! The rhoddie is magnificent!

[leggzy]

A lovely mix of colour

[Casablanca]

I never care about a colour clash like this - I love reds, mauves and pinks side by side in the garden! Gives such impact on the eye

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful mix of colours. This part of the garden must look heavenly at this moment.

Doing it that way provides a bit of fun anticipation

[Hazel]

Beautiful colours. There's something about a book!

[Granny7(Denise)]

Glorious

[Sarah Bremner]

Beautiful and no clash! My art teacher used to say ' if you are not sure about how well colours go together just have a look at nature' ....and she was right!!!

[Jane Pittenger]

I like those colors together
