I love playing with new combos in the garden each year. There's just something so satisfying to see a couple of plants you paired hit it off so well together.
Almost like speed dating....but better.

I love the contrast of the bright chartreuse Hosta with the fuchsia Wave Petunias.

Soft and so feminine, this border of Lupines and Shasta Daisy makes me want to gather a bouquet for the house.

I am absolutely in love with this combo of yellow roses and purple flowers. Perhaps Salvia? I'm not certain, but it's a lovely combination!

This foliage border is so well done with varying colors and textures - no flowers needed here!

I love how the flowers in this perennial border play off the bright pink door. What fun!

This tone-on-tone combination is anything but boring!

This succulent container is just gorgeous - classic, elegant, and certainly not dull.
Do you have a favorite plant combination?

Thanks, Deb!! I'm off to check out portable pop up greenhouses!!
DeleteOh wow, these are all so pretty. Gorgeous pics too.
ReplyDeleteThose pix make me want to get out there and get my hands dirty!
DeleteI find that purples and blues go well together in the garden. And some yellow flowers too.

Most definitely! I tend to go with certain colors more than others on varying years....there is always purple, no matter what!! This year I went with a lot of pink also.
DeleteIt would be so nice if we could have such wonderful colors in our gardens. I love the pinks with bright greens. I also just love cone flowers. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteI am loving the bright greens with the bright pinks, also, Susie!
DeleteIt took me forever to break away from what is completely expected. One year I made the rounds at the garden centers and just bought everything I liked with abandoned. That experience taught me how much prettier gardens and pots can be when you just let go and do what you like.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that so much fun, Stacey!! I do that also....I start off the season thinking I'll stick with a particular color palette and before you know it that all goes right out the window!! :)
DeleteThat second picture of the alpine garden steals my heart! You can pull that off where you live, can't you?
ReplyDeleteI am trying an alpine garden right now and the plants are doing well....when the chipmunks leave them alone!!
DeleteThis brings back memories of the HUGE perennial bed I had when I was younger and the boys were growing up :) It took up half of the back yard and was my pride and joy. Miss that.
ReplyDeleteIs that at your current house, Deb? What happened to the garden?
DeleteWow! Such brilliant color combos! I love anything with shasta daisies and purple anything! I'm so glad you shared this wonderful post on this week's Maple Hill Hop! So inspiring!
ReplyDeleteThus the name, Daisy Gurl? :) I love daisies so much, also - that's why I named my pup Daisy. And her mom is Lily - guess what I planted a ton of in my new garden already? :)
DeleteIt'll always remind you of your sweet Lily. ;0D
DeleteI love them all!
ReplyDeleteI love them all!
ReplyDeleteMe, too, Debbie!! It's hard to choose just one!
DeleteYellow and purple in the garden are one of my favorite pairs, but purple pretty much enhances any color. I love it with white, orange, even red.
ReplyDeleteI don't think there is ever a year I don't use purple in my garden, Dayle!
DeleteYou are a girl after my own heart! I too love color combos in the garden. I remember doing a post about some of mine last year. Always love pink and purple. And yellow, have to throw in a bit of that. I am having fun playing with new colors in my planters this year to tie in with my grandsons wedding here in June. That green is gorgeous! I've bought a few plants in that shade. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
I can't wait to see how your garden comes together for your grandson's wedding - that's so exciting, Jann!!
DeleteLove this post <3 made me so happy. i love seeing all the things blooming in my yard this year
ReplyDeleteI hope you will share more about that on your blog, Ellen - I love to see what you are doing with your new house!
DeleteI'm drooling over here of these lovely combos and stunning photos! It's very gloomy here today, so this is bringing in some sunshine.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous here today, Carol, and I can't wait to get outside in the sunshine!
DeleteI grew up in Florida and just love Caladiums :)
ReplyDeleteI love them also but they don't do too well up here on the mountain top. Even as an annual, the season is so short....I suppose I could start them inside, though!
DeleteSO much lovely color! Fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteColor inside....color outside....I guess that's why I'm ok with my house being a neutral wood/brown color!! This way it doesn't fight with all the other colors I use!
DeleteGorgeous, gorgeous flowers!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to see the colors coming into my garden soon, Donna!
DeleteWow - such great combinations of colors! I think I am in love with the charteuse green hosta and purple pansies! It gives me an idea - maybe the hostas, but with purple lupine instead! My plan is to have our new house built in a few years, so I will be dreaming of landscapes until then! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI am also in love with that combo, Vickie. Nice to have you back again - you were missed!!
DeleteDROOLING! I love almost all of them! Nancy
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to pick just one, isn't it?
DeleteGorgeous pictures. I haven't been able to get outside with all of the mosquitoes but you've got me motivated to get some good color combos going.
ReplyDeleteOh, that stinks!! I bet we will have a bad season for bugs this year also, with the mild winter we had. Uggghhh.
DeleteI did a purple and chartreuse container last year, and loved it! Love that succulent container!
ReplyDeleteThose colors together just scream happiness!
DeleteDear Mountain Mama:
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful photos and beautiful flowers. We just love it all! Thanks for sharing and linking.
I do love color, that's for sure!
DeleteOh my word I love it all. In my own garden I use soft greens, purples, and whites with wee touches of yellow and pink. Thank you so much for linking up to Thoughts of Home on Thursday. You make our gathering a happier place.
ReplyDeleteOh that sounds just lovely, Laura - can't wait to see more of your garden on your site!
DeleteGood Morning Dear Deb!
ReplyDeleteLove, love this inspiration- now you have me wanting to go to the garden center and it is only 6:00 a.m.!
I love the color pallet for each of these landscape designs too:)
Thank you my dear for sharing this beauty with us at TOHOT!
Hugs,
Jemma
What time does the garden center open? :)
DeleteThese are all beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debbie - are you a gardener? I'm sure your soil isn't any better than mine, on your mountain!
DeleteOh, my goodness - I have garden envy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with SYC.
So do I, believe me!!
