Seedfork - I like the comment about your wife!
One neighbor used to come over every June, stand in front of the orange lilies with her arms crossed and staring at them as she said, "I hate orange". I told her that we have a few thousand other plants she could look at but she stood like a statue and I prayed for a flock of pigeons to treat her like one.
Thanks, Neal. The colors are fine together, as you said, but distance is needed and if I put the lilies any closer to the edge the deer will likely devour them. The lazy way out would be to cut the lilies to enjoy indoors!
Generally I examine the colors in one particular flower that I love best to establish color echoes for the area so my thinking was right but the form of the flower was ALL wrong!
