The Dorothy Harvie Garden at the Calgary Zoo

 Planning a new garden is so much work.  Where to start? Well, I look back to the trip to the Calgary Zoo, with its beautiful garden. lSo, once you are wandering through the gardens, it may become difficult to remember what your favourite colour even is!   I know I love purple, but strolling through the gardens, I change my mind with each flower bed I see. 

Gorgeous red poppies. A world of red is easily contemplated.  Red is so vibrant and alive.

What about pastels?  Yellows and pinks create a  very cheerful setting.

Blue, blue, blue - this is a cold colour?  It certainly livens up this bed!

Red again. Red is beginning to seem like a wonderful choice.

Golden flowers for a golden afternoon.

And blue again, glowing in the sunlight.

Finally, a magnificent purple.  Now what could this be? It's truly marvelous.

Silver foliage adds a magical touch.

Competing with the sun to epitomize the colour yellow.  Oh, ligularia!

 

 

 Too many choices! I don't know if I can do a monochromatic garden!

Coral - a colour not so often seen, but well worth considering!
