I wish I could take credit for this inspired combination planting, but all I did was put them in the ground, they eventually found each other and grew entwined in this perfect arrangement. The rose is 'French Perfume', with the purple clouds of statice (limonium) weaving through the rose blooms. The lovely gray background plant? One that I use often, licorice plant (helichrysum). This arrangement is as tall as I am, making them a lovely eye-level attraction.

Wow! I am almost left speechless. That combination is garden mastery, accident or not.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ! I love pinks, purples w/ the green foliage. Perfection ! Gina
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteSuper. I love it when things that aren't planned just "click".
ReplyDeleteSometimes, I think the plants just know who to hang out with. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteA stunning display of beauty only nature could create.
ReplyDeleteWow, indeed. Great color.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is gorgeous! They really look perfect together.
ReplyDeleteThe shade of purple in the statice looks terrific with the pink rose, while the silver gray leaves really set them off. Do you ever dry your statice for indoor bouquets?
ReplyDeleteYou have to see my latest posts. I think you might enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteNorthern Shade, no, I don't dry the statice, I'll have to remember to do that!
ReplyDeleteOh, take credit for it! It's lovely and it's one of the things that literally stopped me in my tracks at the MG tour.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work!
