There was a new area to plant in my garden after some Conifers were felled and most of the flowers there now are Yellow and white with a tiny sprinkling of pink, it made me realise that this was new to me as my garden is pretty well dominated by pink – not intentionally, any- how see what you think:

New patch along the drive

Pink from here on
Ground Cover Roses

Cosmos and Lychnis

Fuschia

Lily

Everlasting Sweet Peas

Rambling Rose Dorothy Perkins

There are more too but I think you will agree pink dominates in my garden…..so I admit I like pink :o)

nothing wrong with pink! All your pinks (and yellows) look great!

I remember you clearing the conifers.....

The change is stunning!
I like using yellows and orange in the garden, its so bright and cheerful even on a dull day......I buy citrus violas for the winter for just that reason.

But thinking about it, I do gravitate to the pastel shades too, pinks and soft mauves, baby blue.......so restful.

Wow! What a difference. I do think the yellow border looks ever so eyecatching. I must admit, I've rather a lot of pink in the garden too. I seem drawn to it when I go plant shopping.

Thank you all so much for your comments and "likes" it is good to know it's not just me with a leaning to pink!! Now the Conifers have gone it is so much lighter and brighter.....so much more space for flowers too :o)

Thank you Hywel, no problem, I'm glad you like my pink flowers, I agree it is a relaxing colour :o)

Thank you Bloomer you are right Pink flowers are good mixers, I have lots of Lysimachia so there is always a sunny corner where they grow :o)

Thank you for liking everyone :o)

I like pink too and have loved seeing your pictures. I especially like the ground cover roses -how delicate they look.

Thank you Wildrose, yes the ground cover roses are a lovely shade, a lot like your Queen Mother floribunda :o)
