As spring comes into full bloom, I am seeing colours around my patio that I would not have chosen to put together. There are two red blooms and a pink one that are right beside each other, and I wonder if the landscape designers were deliberate in their choices or if I am enjoying an accidental combination.

One of the red blooms is in a pot that I can move, so I may do that. It is one of eight big pots that I have inherited from the previous owner of this condo, and I love watching as all the plants emerge from their winter hibernation.

There is an additional rhododendron that is in bud and beside the others, but I don’t yet know what colour the flowers will be. Regardless, I will love it because it borders my patio and I can see it from my living room.

As I look at these plants all in close proximity to each other, it occurs to me that everything I know about complementary, contrasting, and clashing colours doesn’t apply to nature. No matter what red and pink hues adorn these plants, they go together beautifully.
