I love having flowers in the house, and usually do, in the house in
California! I have my orchid collection too!
But, here, the colors are very vivid...and, I'm changing! I would NEVER
have put ORANGE and RED together before!...but here....Walla! The context of
color is different here, and it introduces some interesting combinations! The orange flowers
would never have stood out as well, without the red! I bought
rinunculas last week, and put them out on the terrace! The terrace is Terra Cota
tile, with 4 french tables and orange chairs...and they look perfect! My brother Jim
(a totally visual and artistic guy) and I had a conversation one time walking around Balboa
Island, during which I asked him what his favorite color is, and his reply was:"I don't
think I have a favorite color....what attracts me is the combination of one color with another,
and how they play off of each other." I think I am beginning to understand this!
Blues and yellows always have been a favorite together! For Easter, we had
Peach colored tulips and white freesia (for the fragrance)....here are some of the
other flowers we have had in the house, so far!
These are fresh lilies from the field, that our friends, Regina and Larry brought us when
they came to dinner! A real treat! They are still going strong, opening more and more, each day!
This is my kind of place!!!
