I think I need to add some vibrant gold foliage to that last combo. I think one thing that makes that work so well is that it ties the color scheme together between bloom cycles of the flowering plants.

Sue, I agree- gold, peach, orange with blues and purples is so striking. I love playing with complimentary colors- just looking at a color wheel is helpful finding the right companion plant.
