Wow, I don't think those look bad at all!! When you look closely at that 4 o'clock it's like it was made to "go" with the other flowers.

Now, HERE is what some clashy plants look like:

I actually intended to just plant the "Thumbelina" zinnias in the flower boxes I hang on our deck railing (I have 6 of them), but although I thought I had started the seeds plenty early they were no where near to being ready to blossom even in mid June; so, since I had a lot of marigolds started, which WERE starting to flower, I put some of those in the boxes along with the zinnias... I obviously wasn't giving any thought as to what the colors were going to look like together!! Blinking At least I DO have lots of flowers, and these are so much better than the petunias I used to put in the boxes every year and then had to spend hours dead-heading... (even though I dead-head these, it just is so much easier!)

LOL, I think the next time I need a "user name" for a website I'm going to use "clashyplants" !
