Shrug! Hilarious!

This is an example of color echos gone wrong.
I ordered echoes but didnt factor in how semps change with zones and conditions.
Redwings for instance has never had ant red on it and was supposed to echo Henry correvon and MaryAnn.

Not a color echo but survival echo. I cut this back a few months ago, wasn't sure if I would save the main stem.

later, sometime, maybe in the depths of winter, I'll have a chance to look thru all the shots I haven't seen yet and find some more

I do *try to put reasonable colors together sometimes and every once in a while it works Hilarious!

Dirt, Gottcha.It's not like annuals or perennials with stems and leaves and blooms that are always the same color.
Semps are like chameleons.

More great color echoes Steve and dirt.

I've started moving some of the semps before it gets much to much later in the season. I am trying to keep this thread in mind as I move things.

Very nice Jo Ann. I love the colors in the basket photo.
Do you have a Windows operating system, or an Apple type?
If Windows you can just create a new folder on your desk top and copy and paste the photos on the thumb drive into the new folder on the desktop.
