I don't hate orange but younger DS loves it and doesn't understand I don't want his orange flowers allllllllll over. He thinks dark maroon Dahlia's and orange marigolds go together. So this year he got to pick all the flowers for around the Pampas grass as a compromise.
You hate orange??? I confess, I have very few orange flowers, but I'd love to have some orange oriental poppies!
I do have orange Geum, which blooms very early in Spring, in fact it's almost finished now. It's set off with some intense blue Lithodora, and the combination is quite striking. It's a bit of a surprise for Spring, colour-wise, as often it's pinks, yellows, purples, and reds that you see.
I like all flower colours, but blue is my favourite!
