Have you ever noticed when you go to places like Disneyland how spectacular the plantings are? One thing I have noticed that makes them seem so spectacular is they do plantings in mass. All of one color or a tight color scheme using only two to three colors. K-I-S-S, keeping it super simple.
This weekend I planted some flowers in the three pots on the front porch. I have one plant that is permanent that I work around. It is a dwarf lime cypress. I love the bright lime color of this plant and it looks great with so many colors.
I look around at nature, home design and even wardrobes for color inspiration. If you look there is inspiration everywhere.

This time I chose to pair my lime cypress with purple. I love the way lime and purple contrast with each other.
Even Nature likes this pairing.

Notice how simple and tight I kept the color scheme?
This pot has two types of potato vines. One in lime and the other is a very dark purple.
I love fresh produce in bowls on my counter. The dark purple of the blueberries makes a nice contrast with the lime green stripes in my wallpaper, and the stripes in the pitcher.
This black cast iron planter hangs on the right side of my door. I planted it with the same plantings that are in the the other planter on the left side of the door. You can see by Keeping- It- Super- Simple each plant is highlighted and yet it all pairs nicely together.
Next time you go to the nursery for some new plants. Look around at your surroundings for some color inspiration. Remember KISS!!! and you can’t go wrong.
