Maybe some of us will be courageous enough to show when plans go wrong, or we plant first and then the color clash becomes apparent years later.
Back in 2005 I planted the Japanese anemone, but the Clara Curtis mum had been in place for many, many years. It was only this year when the anemone bloomed at the same time as the mum that the clash hurt my eyes - it is that bad.
First the sweet anemone:
Then the Clara Curtis hardy mum:
Now the clash!
So, instead of moving the anemone, I'll take a tip from Pamela Harper, author of Color Echoes, and just remove the flowers of the anemone when it comes into bloom early next September.
Show us some of your disasters.
