You'll likely see similar plantings at Canada Blooms held next month but if you're suffering from HSAD (horticulture seasonal affective disorder) right now or don't plan to go to the national/home/garden/flower/renovation show (talk about a hybrid under one roof!), I hope these pics will alleviate your cabin fever (or possibly exacerbate it.)

How dreamy is this? Daffodils in the background, maybe maidenhair fern spilling over, hellebores at Leda's feet, papyrus (?), floating tubs of red/wine amaryllis with purple oxalis (and, wow, those yellow flowers really contrast with the purple foliage.)
The goldfish in the pond have quite the digs!

| Bed of cyclamen and English ivy that is clean and fresh to me |

Not exactly spring pastels but perhaps
suggesting a summer container?

A complementary colour scheme of yellow and purple creates great contrast and drama (along with red and green and the third duo of blue and orange.) This is my favourite color combination, no contest.

| Quite the contrast |
I zoomed in on this red bromeliad but with such contrast of the red and green complementary colours, it wasn't hard to notice the mass of red and yellow bromeliads from far away against the glistening green foliage.

| Early spring colour that would be eye-catching in your garden beds! |

| Pink hyancinths and white cyclamen and light green "cypressy" Could this be your spring colour scheme for 2012? |
Pięknie, wiosennie, kolorowo. Chciałabym żeby już kwiaty kwitły nie tylko pod szkłem, a tu jeszcze zima. Pozdrawiam.***Beautiful, wiosennie, colorful. I would like to have flowers blooming not just under the glass, and still winter here. Yours.
ReplyDeleteHi Giga,
ReplyDeletewe all prefer to see these beautiful blooms outside but it's still too cold here in Toronto (it's hard to be patient!) Thanks for your comment!
