I'm ordering bulbs that will have a background of an orange brick wall. Any suggestions for colors that won't compete?
bulbs w/brick wall background
That is a gorgeous rose Chantell. Thanks for sharing.

Is the brick actually orange or more of a peach color? I've never seen orange bricks. I have always treated any building color - brick, clapboard, whatever - as if it was a neutral and planted whatever colors I liked. If it's peach or orange, you might want to plant a few in that color range to pick up the color in the building, though.
Ah Ruby...thank YOU!!! Saw it by my mom and dad's place last year and was so thankful my camera was in the car. God blesses us with such pretties to see each day!!
My house is white, so I wish I had a brick wall I'd want to put white flowers there; at least some -I think would show up well
Sally,
With white you can do anything!!! Even if you had plants with white blooms it would work...you just put them in "row 2" with ones that have color up against the house!!
Well, good point- and I also have these low windows that I don't think I should block. This is a spring pic of a bed by the drive, about 3 by 20 feet, that now has four o'clocks. But we digress. Deirdra, have you made any choices? Daffodils, tulips.......
you could put up a picture of the spot and get all our free advice.
