Good morning, gardeners, and welcome to the Saturday Morning Garden Blog!
As many of you know, one of my main challenges as far as “landscape design” is concerned is the use of bold colors in my garden. Try as i might, Roy G. Biv is the Loch Ness Monster of my yard, and i struggle mightily to gather proof of Mr. Biv's existence. Now that autumn is in full swing here in the Pacific Northwest, this “problem” is amplified by poor weather and the ever-shortening days. But let's go on a little scouting mission, shall we? Let's take a look around to see how many of the rainbow's primary colors we can find in my yard this time of year ...
Regal Red ...
Muted Red ...
Orange-Red ...
Shedding Red ...
Red-ish ...
Hummer Red ..
Red and Yellow ...
Red crown on a yellow rose ...
Ripening Yellow ...
Mostly Yellow ...
Pure Yellow ...
Golden Yellow ...
The only blue in my garden is more about my frame of mind than anything that can be photographed. But i'm not worried. Like autumn itself, the blues won't last forever ...
Do you have a lot of color in your yard this time of year? And what's going on in your gardens?
