apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I was JUST thinking about dark leaves! At my mum's old house, there were several plum trees, whose leaves were very dark red tones. Here's a page with a plum tree on it so other folks can see what I'm talking about:

I could spend all day just enjoying the shades of colors of green and the bursts of flowers. Adding in those different tones of red leaves and brownish flowers is so interesting!

Have you ever done a column/article for AT on pelargoniums? Or have you ever been to this site:

It's amazing. You have GOT to go there. And there are some that have dark leaf parts with bright green, and they would be smashing at the base of some of the taller dark brown flowers with green leaves.

I could be pretty darned happy with a garden of nothing but pelargonium. So many kinds, so many colors and shapes. And there are plenty of common ones available that are easy to take care of. Ideal for a small balcony or a few pots in a sunny window, so that everyone can have flowers inside, that grow!

BEAUTIFIL!
