Hello, again, flower fanciers! You've found 'Color Echoes' Part III...

If you are interested in how flower, foliage, and architecture color nuances can influence the beauty of your garden, we invite you to join in posting pics of your favorite examples on this thread.

We have had a lot of fun, and learned a few things, on our first two threads (which you may want to look over, too, for excellent flower combinations) which started out as a discussion based on Pamela Harper's book on "Color Echoes" and the color discussion on 'LAtelier Vert'.

This afternoon, in fact, while checking out Barbara Wilde's 'L'Atelier' site, I came upon her photo essay on the garden at Bosmelet which is a potager divided into four flower color quadrants. A challenging concept and fun to make a 'virtual visit' to: http://frenchgardening.com/visitez.tmpl?SKU=309567217277736

My own garden is looking a bit worn out these days, but I am 'remodelling' one section using chartreuse-y greens and pale yellows. My latest addition is a creamy little lupine, along with the liriope variegated, hosta 'abba dabba do', and a lovely no-name daylily grouping...as usual my picture is no good, but...you'll have to use your imagination.

Let's see some new ideas...

Happy gardening. t.
