The warm seems here to stay in Chicago. Finally. So I am working in the garden today and hope to see some of those colors flower before too long. I’m even planting a little personal paradise for my “big cat” ;-) Cheers!

Something about those complementary colors just called out to me in 2010 as well. Of course, I had no restraint on what I purchased, added some purple and yellow in there. Yummy stuff.

BTW, I am crazy about your header photo with the Big Cat hunting in the bush. Cool!

I use orange in west facing beds – orange canna lilies contrasting with inky fingers coleus,physocarpus diablo, lambs ears and lantana…wowie!
I wrote about jewel tones in the garden…Come visit me! Jan

Salvia Black and Blue (zone 6 plant but available as an annual locally)

Inky Fingers Coleus (very dark with narrow lighter trim)

Some of the Perillas are quite dark

I’ll be back to admire the results!
