Yes! Especially red/blue/yellow combinations! Oh no - cerise/orange/bright purple is far worse! Try the combination in one of my big planters this year: a soft orange osteospermum predominates, but is molested by a lapis lazuli anagallis, bright yellow sanvitalia, brilliant red callibrachoas, a fluorescent-magenta phlox (and a matching callibrachoa), and one or two other items carefully chosen to give maximum clash. Yee-haw! Ride'm cowboy! Hey, Rodger, how big is that planter? And I love the combination of Geranium 'Anne Folkard' (deep violent magenta) with hot orange crocosmias. My attitude: pastel gardens for pastel people. I have a wider taste than yours, for which I am truly thankful. I can live with your choice of colours *and* pastels as well. All that matters is that each plant should be visible, look healthy and do what it should do. To hell with what its neighbour is doing. Franz |
