@pirl, I keep coming back to look at this picture. Such great textural contrast and the colors look awesome together. I have Velvet Mocha too and may have to try to recreate this look. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks, Karen. I do like that combo. You can't believe how many coleuses I tried to pair with Gingerland until I got it right (not perfect yet).

Clearly, I must have been deprived of coffee when I tried this disaster.


Here Beckwith's Gem is too far back to form any eye catching match. I did like Beckwith's Gem but thought I'd like to match the wine colored dots on the caladium so I kept trying more and more coleuses every year.


While the color of Felix did match, the edge went better with Citronelle (heuchera):


It's just a tiny part of my color echoes/color harmony madness.

Color harmony is my passion too! Love seeing this progression. Thanks for telling me the story of how you came to this pairing.
