I am constantly lamenting about how I have a habit of what I call polka-dot planting as opposed to planting "en masse". One here, one there, no continuity. But there is a time when it is appropriate. That would be as accent planting and this lovely iris, 'Orinoco Flow' is a good example. This area is filled with shrubs and small-flowering perennials and does not necessarily attract the eye. But who could not notice the bold colors of the iris that stand out dramatically and create a pleasing scenario. This time I got it right!

When Ones-ies Work

Yes, you did! It looks very pretty standing out among the others.
ReplyDeleteI will have to remember that one is sometimes the way to go! Thanks for your post.
That Iris needs no company to shine. :)
