Who Is Christopher Lloyd Mageth?........Is he a gardening man I haven't heard of? I like the purple and orangy/red really, they remind me of paint box colours.

I can recommend
Cuttings: A Year in the Garden with Christopher Lloyd
for a general read - he used to write a gardening column in the Guardian and this has articles selected over the years for each month of the year - aw one reviewer put it 'witty, cutting, wise'.
I've got The Well-Tempered Garden as well, very informative and always well written and interesting.'

or try "colour for the adventurous gardener"

He sounds just like the sort of garden writer I'd like to read, thank you both, I'm going to see if my village library can get them......:o)

Orange and purple are opposites on the color wheel and are an excellent combination, much like blue and yellow you see alot of together.
