PLANTS WITH MATCHING COLOURS - PURPLES

Some lovely flowers there Tetrarch.

Agree you do have some nice flowers, for october.

You're right tet. it will come in handy, like listing your plants on your profile is handy too it acts as an aide memoire! All shades of purple are my favourite.

Lovely plants, lovely colours.

Thanks girls, Grandmage, Ive often longed for a book that lists the flowers available in "toning shades of".. with details of growth, habit, period of flowering, soil etc. showing pictures of each plant. I'd buy it!

Perhaps I can persuade a few of you to find half a dozen flowers in your garden that are the same colour or toning shade of that colour and post them. We could have a section on GoY with a little circles of the colour pallette so we can refer to these blogs.

I have seen one, might even have one, not sure where though Lol!!! But same colours in different shades are lovely. You will have to suggest the colour theme to the boys!

Lovely pictures Tetrarch, yes wonder why no ones ever thought of producing a book like that, I'd buy it too:-), nothing more annoying than planting a plant to find it doesn't quite match.

Smashing blog and photo`s Tetra, lovely colours, I really like the roses...

Oooh, I feel a book coming on!!!
Good idea, a colour circle on GoY.
Lovely flowers Tet.

Purples and blues such royal colours I always think.

Quite lovely Tetra, all my favourite shades, there is a book which does show you how to use colour in the way you want, I have borrowed it from the library twice in the past few years, do you think I can remember the name? it is so annoying, it will come to me......will let you know when it does lol
I like your idea re posting pics of plants with same or similar colours.

Thanks Tet - lovely. Added to faves.

Very kind Sheilabub, now its your turn..and DD you can start with Inca Ice and Lily Zulu! Spritz could come up with hundreds I daresay, she's a whizz at this sort of thing.

Still got more planting to do yet Tet, wont be long now lol

Its amazing how much you have achieved so far DD..wears me out just looking at the pics!! But I reckon its a huge improvement and, I would hope, by the time you need to paint it again, you can hack the shrubs back to get to it....or..of course..you might have changed it again by then LOL!

OK Tet - have obeyed, and taken the camera round the garden, so be prepared for some amateurish pink pics!

Havent seen "amateur" from you yet Sheilabub...and the info is sooo helpful, Im really looking forward to seeing your blog. You are a star!

Ooo-er lol! Done it, and now remembered my Phlox. Heigh-ho, could do better. :))

Im sure you can add it in..try Edit button..

Ah - I meant I forgot to photograph it, and now it's over. Sorry Tet. But maybe there's one in my photos from the past? (bear with me . . . )

A lovely selection Tet , I love the P. Bodnant it's one that I shall def. be looking out for :o))

It was only a small plant when I bought it in late summer and it hasnt stopped flowering! Im much impressed with it. It has a lovely two toned purple colour, very soft, and looks velvety.
If you have any good colour matches and the names of plants to go with it dont forget to do a blog on it Amy. We can at least save to favs and when we are looking for matches there will be some tried and tested ones to choose from.

Hi Tet, I just popped back to have a look a Bodnant and it is a lovely colour......another on my list ;O)

It is worth it Annella, my picture doesnt do it justice..would love a top in that colour in velvet as soft as the flowers!
