Better Together

Take a flower tour >> here <<.

Which flowers do you like, yellow rudbeckia and sunflowers or purple echinacea? I like yellow because my old eyes don't notice some of the other colours unless yellow gets me looking in the right direction. But if every flower in the garden were yellow, we would have to find something else to complete the picture. I like purple because it contrasts with yellow. Blue is nearly invisible at a distance but pretty nice up close. Pink is good at any distance.

These wild bergamot (monarda fistulosa) line the path where we walk in August.

And these crown-vetch (securigera veria) were there a few weeks ago.

Ah, but the yellow: these goldenrod (solidego) are just coming into season.

Come to think of it, I like all the colours, and they are better together, like this.
