Accidental Perfection...
As I get older, I seem to be drawn to orange,
BRIGHT orange.
GAUDY Orange.
When I planted the Purslane,I had forgot about the purple asters that would be blooming later,
along with the Purslane.
One plant of Purple Aster hasn't even started to bloom.This border will really be something else then:)
LOVE IT!!
The Pokeberry (in the back) re-seeded itself on the other side of my deck pot plants, great coverage, and purple berries:)
Totally loving this wildness!!
Re-seeding Salvia, Cocks Comb, and Blue Blooming Jew
Bone-set and Celosia
Close-up of Celosia bloom forming.I sprinkled seed everywhere, only two came up, and then it was together in one pot!!
Love this color!!
Rock Rose and Garlic ChivesThis just happens to be two pots temporarily sitting next to each other...
Re-seeded Wild basil, Ginger, Taro Elephant Ears

I find I am loving orange in the garden as well - yours looks especially striking with the purple asters. Your gardens are just gorgeous and I love the freeflowing look of them!
You have a beautiful garden. I love it when plants reseed and make a surprise appearance the next year!
So pretty !
hugs, Cherry
Love your pictures. Beatiful colors. No sign of fall yet.
Have a nice day, Annemieke
Your garden is just gorgeous. I, too, love the pronounced and vibrant colors of fall. I hope you are having a wonderful day.
Orange is my favorite color. I really like that purple basil. What a deep red, almost purple color.

Yes, we ARE kindred spirits! I sometimes am almost apologetic of my love for unabashed wildness in the garden. I had a surprise pokeberry, I imagine a gift from the birds. My neighbor said, "that's a weed", i said "not in my garden, i love it". Why should it be any other way? We can't improve upon nature!
Mother nature surely can put some great combos together. Everything looks beautiful.
I missed reading your blog! That is bloomin' Beautiful!
My daughter loves purple and orange and bright colors. I'll have to remember this combo for her garden next year. Beautiful photos and garden!
Your mother nature has great skills and talents. My mother nature got the short end of the stick, and seems to know only how to reseed weeds. Lovely -- that combo of orange and purple is fabulous!

Carla ~ good for you! A bloomin- Tuesday post even when Jean forgot! :) I absolutely LOVE the oranges, too, and I never thought I would. All your flowers are beautiful!
