I'm thinking the purples would be my chioce, a calming color for the crazy world. I like reds and orange but they make me feel jittery.

Woofie, I define the difference between a shrub and a perennial as a shrub is a woody plant, and a perennial is an herbaceous plant that lives for more than two years. But technically I think trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants that live more than two years would be considered perennials.

So, we both like lilacs!!!!!

See, now I'd put roses and lilacs in the same category. My list would have been Lilacs, Roses, Peonies, Daylilies...and...er...well, something else! Hilarious! Hee hee, can I have a bunch of annuals for my fifth perennial? Big Grin

If I had to pick one color I'd have to say red. A young woman on GardenWeb posted pics of her now infamous red bed which I've never forgotten. It looks like that thread was started in 2006.

That's funny, Karen, she's my trading partner. She has the most beautiful gardens. Here's some more shots.

Beautiful pics. The memory of that red bed has stayed with me for a long time.

It's funny too, how some of us visit different garden websites, have common friends, some of us broaden our horizons and join other sites as well while some stay firmly planted in one place forever and ever.

That's true. I was on Garden Web first, then on DG. I visit both occasionally, but this and Cubits are my homes.

I might be her trading partner, but my gardens sure don't rival hers. Looking at her pictures gives me great ideas, though. Glad you liked the pics.
