I think of them as installation art. A chance to experiment and be playful and learn about color, texture and scale. The porch pot display, no matter how chaotic, almost always works for me when taken in context of the house and the calm backdrop of the yews flanking the porch.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14771120380247636617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4067804781629732627.post-32406361323171985942014-06-08T16:37:31.424-07:002014-06-08T16:37:31.424-07:00I can't.

But in many pictures it was not so much the colours as the restless chaos of form and shape, looking as if they'd been flung together and then flung at us. The porch, I think, especially. <br /><br />Having mentioned the idea of choosing one thing in a garden view to blow up, I think making that choice amongst these plants (the structure of the garden is something else..) would be an almighty challenge...Anne Warehamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13102518926229038553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4067804781629732627.post-63355683673502307302014-06-08T04:18:46.200-07:002014-06-08T04:18:46.200-07:00Hi Stephanie.

One nice characteristic of a red like that, is that it makes the eye move throughout the garden or in the case of the Long Border and Wall Border along the border.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14771120380247636617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4067804781629732627.post-65050569563849401492014-06-05T06:56:52.272-07:002014-06-05T06:56:52.272-07:00I defer judgement.

I can't say I'm taken by the screaming reds and oranges (though I'm favoring more orange in my own garden), but I know Dixter changes several times a season. It's still a sentimental favorite. Gardens Illustrated just put out a podcast of Fergus Garrett and Dan Pearson in conversation with Anna Pavord. It's very interesting to me to have heard Fergus talking about Dixter just before seeing your post.James Goldenhttp://www.federaltwist.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4067804781629732627.post-33261992598528770552014-06-04T10:29:23.570-07:002014-06-04T10:29:23.570-07:00Thanks, Beth.
