Your flower groupings certainly strike a joyful note, CeCe and seem like delightfully bountiful outdoor bouquets. Whether the colors are bold or soft, they all go together beautifully and are very easy on the eyes. Do you do any soil tweaking of acid/base to get those blue tones on the background hydrangeas in the last picture?
Lovely! And a GREAT pairing with the daylily and hydrangea!
Flower Power! Looks so cheery. Great way to start my day and head into the weekend.
It looks like a very large garden! Beautiful pairings of plants. It reminds me of a carefree time...thanks
Cheery is right! Looks like your yard is a giant bouquet. Thanks for sharing your bounty.
What a beautiful happy garden. Thanks for sharing.
Hi CeCe, I think daisies and lilies/daylilies look great together. Especially when the yellow center of the daisy complements yellow in the lily. I also love the way the lavender blush on the daylily matches the hydrangea. Was that your intent or a happy accident? I try for a lot of color combos, but also really relish the garden getting into the act, too! It would be fun to do a series on happy accidents. One of mine was the columbines self sowing next to the rhododendrons. The delicate beauty and form of the columbines was a delightful contrast to the over the top opulence of the rhodo's bloom!
This looks like the quintessential cottage garden. My favorite kind of garden! Vikki in VA.
Cheery, bright and charming! The colors you chose are beautiful
I'm not a writer and I can't wax poetic about your garden pictures, I just love them... All the pops of color. It leaves me wanting more. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing CeCe! A wonderfully bright and cheery way to start a Friday! Great combinations!
Cece - thank you for brightening my Friday morning. What a lovely cheerful cottage garden!
Beautiful combinations. Really pretty to look at. Must give you great joy!
Great colour combinations Cece. My favourite is the hydrangea and the daylily. You have an artist's eye,
What a beautiful flower garden! The color combinations are gorgeous. In the first photo, what is the white lace flower? I have to buy some of those. You brightened my day. Thank you for sharing.
Hi retired gal. I believe that is Achillea millefolium, commonly called Yarrow. It can be found in creamy white, pink and yellow, maybe other colours as well.
Thanks. I have the yellow yarrow and now I need the white ones.
GORGEOUS !!!!!
So beautiful....
