I'm fond of Black and Blue salvia and managed to find several plants at Lowe's this year that weren't dead yet. I can achieve that myself as the summer wears on.
My tiny terrace is packed with lots of pots, bird baths and all sorts of junk. I enjoy it all. I don't have a theme with the colors or the plants, but I like a pop of bright orange here and there.
Oh, and peach and pink. That rose is Zepherine Drouhin. Hibiscus courtesy of the grocery store.
Back in the day I wouldn't have dreamed of putting orange flowers in my garden but I have no such qualms now. I guess if there's a color theme scattered M&M's would be it.
The lower yard is mostly green. I love the lawn, but I no longer love mowing it. A guy does it nowadays.
