It used to be said in hospitals 40 years ago that you should not put red and white flowers together because it symbolised death but I see no reason not to have them together in a garden - or a hospital for that matter :-)

I always did think that was superstitious!

Me too!

never heard of it before. many wedding boquets are red and white with out ndue happenings.

Only unlucky if planted under a ladder with a black cat doing a poo in the middle of it and you throwing a mirror at it that smashes.......Lol

Ooops! How many years of 'bad luck' does that add up to, Fractal? LOL.

I think they cancel each other out :-)

Just as well - that is if anyone 'were' that superstitious! Oh, and don't forget to put your umbrella down indoors, will you? lol.

No looking at the full moon through glass either lol

Unless you cross your palm with silver! ;-)

now I thought it was looking at a new moon through glass. [oops a daisy for all us spectacle wearers then!]

lol SBG - Mark I hope by now you realise you grow the plants you want to grow together... colour be damned!

Christopher Lloyd grew everything together and lived to a ripe old age :-)

Oh, but he did die after planting them together, Fractal! (Just 50-ish years later! LOL)

This was true of Hospitals up to the 1950s a lot of them forbid red and white flowers also they did not like flowers out of season and wilting flowers we have a 93 year old retired matron lives 3 doors away and she confirmed that red/white flowers were not allowed in the Halifax hospital when she worked there up to 1966 I think its a load of nonsense.
