I couldn't think of what to call this thread, but I took some odd (in a good way) pictures through the columbines at other colors in my postage stamp garden.

Somehow I really like the pale Silver Scrolls' flowers with the outrageous Tequila Sunrises. I can be both subtle and outrageous at once, can't I?

This might be the same I already posted, but I saved this as "color echoes".
This is a whole shot of this tiny garden. I was trying for a pink-orange-color scheme - more of salmon or something. I guess I was hoping the colors would combine to produce one of my favorite colors.
This is Amaryllis 'Rilona'. I love this color. It's the color of my bedroom and most of my wardrobe! We can't grow Hippoeastrum year round up hre, at least not without a lot of work.
Forgive my crazy, blurry, shots, please.

I LOVE your color combinations! Here's one you should try. Salsa lilies.
Another one. A little different, but would go with your combo.
Carrie - Gorgeous!! I love the lupines & geum through the T. Sunrise columbines!! Pinks, corals & oranges ( and next to blues) are my 'thing' at the moment! Samantha
This tiny garden came about because one year (a few years ago) we had a great year for coreopsis moonbeam, stella d'oro daylilies, and yellow yarrow - all at once. This is the un-yellow garden, LOL.
Do you have something to post with me here?

Carrie, I don't have anything that pretty! I *LOVE* those 'Tequilla Sunrise' Columbine with everything! They are just soooo pretty! You probably have a zillion hummingbirds, don't you?
I did have a red bed, but it isn't coming out well at all. I try for single color beds, or bed that harmonize and always end up wrecking it before it's finished.

No, I haven't seen ANY this year. There was one (1) at my honeysuckle last year.

I have lots of hummingbirds - they seem to like everything not just reds. If you want to add some real WOW to your combination, plant a magic carpet spirea - bright pink flowers and yellow green foliage, and add some magenta to your reds and oranges. That's my new combo for one bed - also purple!
Well, Caitlin, there are some hot pink Monarda and pale pink lisianthus scheduled to be popping up soon! I think there IS a magic carpet spirea - well some kind of spirea that has pink and red at the same time blooms? And there's a QuickFire hydrangea behind the columbine. Patience, patience.
