Different seasons, almost the same color palette on this slope planted with annuals at the Chicago Botanic Garden. The first two pictures, taken Saturday, show a perfect fall planting scheme of yellow, orange, and red enlivened by blue.
The next two images use the same color scheme but were captured in a springtime visit to CBG. Here, only one flower — poppies — is used to provide the red/yellow/orange tones.
White is the contrasting color instead of blue this time, but provided by poppies rather than introducing a different shaped plant into the mix.
It is always fun to see those big swathes of color.
