Sue - that iris is SO gorgeous. What partners did you give that wonderful iris?

Okay, Julia, you did make my eyes hurt but we've all probably made some wrong color choices and you did need homes for those plants. In your defense, the hanging basket of red and purple petunias with white (something) is lush and lovely.

I'm still convinced that the pink family is trickier to work with than any other color. Either they sway towards lavender, peachy tones or they end up bland and boring. Here the pink petunia doesn't match and the "what was I thinking" frame of mind must have taken over for me to put a lavender petunia in the mix.
