What plants would you take with you if you moved house.....

Farm1 writes :-)) I think it was Hardy Amies (Queen's dressmaker) who said that orange in roses was vulgar. I love orangey coloured Calendulas but am not fond of orange roses. And I don't like tropical looking plants in temperate gardens but would if I lived in the tropics. I find my taste changes with season. In spring, fresh yellows. Cool pinks and mauves in summer, then warm oranges and reds in autumn, to tone in with the autumn leaves and ripening fruit. So an orange rose is garish and out of place, whereas orange calendulas are good ;-) Yes. You've captured it well. For the same reason I hate 'blue' roses. |
