Each month, a new garden color palette sweeps through the flower garden. I didn’t do that on purpose; I’m not that skilled at garden design. I just plant what I love and the rest follows.<\/p>\n

Garden Color Palette<\/h1>\n

Early spring finds hues of purple and pink scattered throughout the garden, punctuated by bright red, yellow, apricot and pastel pink tulips. Nodding daffodils also add bursts of color, but the main theme is pink and purple.<\/p>\n

As May transitioned into June, I noticed more yellow flowers blooming, and now that we are into the second week of June, the predominant colors are yellow and orange.\u00a0 Purple lavender, purple and pink petunias and hummingbird flower, fuchsia colored yarrow and red roses accent the garden, but the main theme is yellow and orange.<\/p>\n

Bright patches of yellow daisies, yellow Stella d’Oro daylilies, and yellow and orange Gaillardia create sweeps of color. What I’ve noticed is that flowers that reseed and spread freely, such as the Gaillardia, are taking over big patches of the flower garden which is fine by me.\u00a0 The more flowers I have planted there, the less room there is for weeds! But it is also creating dominant color palettes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Nature is more skilled as a painter than I am, and I am grateful for her masterful touch in the garden choosing the color palette!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
