That many white flowers are needed to divide the severe contrast of colors.
That—
| Yellow combines well with | — | purple and lavender blue scarlet browns |
but that yellow does not combine well with crimson or magenta.
| Blue combines well with | — | yellow crimson, magenta pink |
Light pink and yellow are good together, depending upon the shades.
It is difficult to describe the beauty of Mary Frances’ garden. Peeping over the green velvet of the lawn is a border of low-growing white flowers which look like ribbons of snow. They are sweet alyssum—“Little Gem.”
Just back of them come pink Baby Rambler roses; next, a large mass of charming blue-lavender eupatorium; and “locking arms” with the eupatorium, on the other side, is a rudbeckia, a bush bearing little “brown-eyed” flowers.
Between the pink of the Baby Rambler and the blue of the eupatorium is a bush of feverfew; and between the blue of the eupatorium and the yellow of the rudbeckia is the white of achillea.
