The restrained peach of the rose with the muted lavenders of the Salvia
The pale yellow of the hydrangea flowers and the pale yellow edging of the Abutilon
The grey-green of both the Agave and the Lotus, with a contrast in shape and texture
The silver and sea-green of both the Lomandra and the Ballota, again in contrasting shapes and textures.
How about adding in some green and lavender, with Salvia 'Blue Hill'?

Natasha and her favorite spot
All choice pairings, and a great beauty shot of Natasha - she knows how to pose! I love the variegated Agave with the hairy Canary clover but I wonder which will engulf the other first.
ReplyDeleteShe looks so serene and noble in that photo, the exact opposite of her personality, ha ha!
DeleteThe hairy canary has already won. Didn't take long at all.
My cannas died last winter. I didn't get them dug up and we had a really cold spell that did them in unfortunately. I just love to see those towering flowers.
ReplyDeleteGive that big fuzzy wuzzy Natasha some skritches from me.
I'm enjoying Cannas much more than expected. I love it when the plants surprise me.
DeleteI will do that for Natasha. She's irresistible--her coat is like goose down.
That hint of lemon in the yellow pairing is beautiful
ReplyDeleteI wish I had thought of it, but it was yet another happy accident.
DeleteThe Ballota, Lomandra and Salvia vignette is my favourite. Cool and sophisticated. However, Natasha and her resting spot are pretty close too.
ReplyDeleteWith plants, trios always seem best. Two dogs on their sofa is chaos.
DeleteThat rose looks so good I could eat it.
ReplyDeleteYummy like a peach. :)
