The Iris Lady
I thought I would post this before Steven did. It is iris season once again and as some of you may know I have a slight fondness for them. We have quite a few and every season I find another gorgeous hybrid to put in my garden. (This year, Silver Moon!) Unfortunately, as I was trying to explain to my husband, I have never really planned out the whole thing (buy a beauty, stick it somewhere) and I need to totally reorganize them because they are clashing. Steve does not see that that is possible but the purples do not look good next to the pale apricots etc. Even some purples do not look good next to other purples and I have 5 different purples at least. I will have pictures shortly so you all can see the necessity. Wish me luck as irises do not like to be moved, especially at this time of year but I need to see the colors to match them, yes? The good news is I have an excellent garden boy who follows instructions cheerfully. Sometimes.

I have to admit that my position is: they are plants, how can they clash. But, as in all things related to good taste and fashion sense, I defer to Dara. At least eventually :).
Dara you are way ahead of the garden curve in my mind, regardless of your haphazard color scheme. Once things start to grow and bloom here the only things I move are weeds. Maybe I need a good garden boy.
I don't come cheap, and I might not follow your instructions so cheerfully. On the other hand, I do have a lot of experience with weeds.
I understand the color dilemma! Wish I was there to help you plan and organize the color schemes!
