Color for the Weekend: Pink

Pink flower of Geranium macrorrhizum 'Bevan's Variety' scattered in the Shade Path Garden. White variegated Sedum 'Frosty Morn' stands out among the blue Hosta and palmated Geranium foliage.
 A few combinations from around our garden this weekend, all with a little pink...


Dianthus 'Fire Witch' and one little forget-me-not blooming along the Front Walk.
Purple Ninebark (Physocarpus opulifolius 'Summer Wine') flowers start as pink buds and turn white. Fragrant mock orange (Philadelphus) is blooming white in the background.
Pink columbine (Aquilegia) in front of blue Hosta in the Shade Path garden.

Have restful weekend!

  2. Refreshing as pink lemonade! Cool greens and pinks are among my favorite. I especially like the combinations in your first photo.

  3. Oh, I like that purple ninebark, with its red foliage. Also like the Frosty Morn sedum. My dianthus are just starting to bloom in the rock garden--I put in a new one this year, a dark purple called 'Diana Blueberry.' I wish the woodchucks would let me grow columbine! Pink is my favorite color, so I really enjoyed this post today!
