Orange comes soon in early summer when orange daylilies cover the verges and fields and the modest dooryards along country roads.
The Parker Museum has some orange blooms now. One is the snapdragon “Cool Orange”, which we planted in front of the wishing well planter with its new antique rusted handpump. The other is a coreopsis new to me,” Lil’l Bang Darling Clementine”. Quite the name, I think.



I do not fear bright color and the sunset shades, and blue, yellow and gray together. I love red as long as the blooms are not outsized. I like white if it presents as a cloud or a mist .
