I lean toward orange, yellow, reds. I was a bit bummed when I my other geranium started to bloom it it was pink, not scarlet as the tag said. Ugh. But I'm leaving it. To me, flowers all go together and all flowers are loved where summer is short.<br /><br />JodyGumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-12193618326274771932011-06-21T10:00:40.602-07:002011-06-21T10:00:40.602-07:00I have uprooted brilliant red yarrow that clashed ...I have uprooted brilliant red yarrow that clashed with more subtle colors in the greenhouse courtyard...and there are some potted orange geraniums that if not in a corner all their own I can't bear to have around. Cineraria plant themselves all over and some of the fuschia and darker ones get yanked unceremoniously because they are eye catchers rather than part of the smoothing flow of delight.<br /><br />Sweet post....may you keep cultivating contentment and may the birds, the breeze and the blog spread it abroad.Jeannettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115410908800997558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-37688606040398914362011-06-21T06:05:44.408-07:002011-06-21T06:05:44.408-07:00Beautiful!

Neither of us knew what it was. The leaf color and shape is the same. I'll have to check it out.M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-90632913253500608192011-06-21T04:54:06.601-07:002011-06-21T04:54:06.601-07:00I love your ideas about color combos.
