Patio in pink and green (and some other colors)


As mentioned in an earlier post this was my pink and green year. This theme has carried over to one of my clients container plantings. Oh! but this first planting has orange in it.

That's Louie, and Lucy in the window




A lime green "dracena" keeps company to a container filled with "Rex" begonia in this shady corner of the front courtyard.


The front courtyard.


A wall planter of sedums and verigated "Licorice" 
no flowers here just folliage


An "Orchid" in bloom surrounded by ferns and "Non stop Begonias"with pink "Polka-dot"s


Ok, so not everything is pink, here we have Banana trees surrounded with a collar of red geraniums and red begonia's 


The font door urns.
"Lemon Cyprus", Begonia's and variegated Ivy


Heading towards the back the two fence planters 


"Angel wing Begonia's" take center stage in these plantings, while the Ivy dances



First glimpse of the back patio, here's the pink and green I was talking about.


Pink "Caladiums" lime "Licorice", Mosses, and a pot of New Guinea impatiens. 


One of my most favorite plantings in the garden


Pink "Cannas"


"Dalia's



A fountain turned planter is filled with Lavender Impatiens


Where the frog reads his stories.
These pots feature "Elephant ears, Lysmachia, and "Persian Queen" geraniums.
The real lawn was removed  and replaced with artificial turf which serves as a "Putting Green"



A pink "Mandevilla" not in bloom yet


I call these the "dog run planters" because they hang on the "dog run fence"
My clients can actually see them from their living room windows and makes for a much nicer view than the fence.


A metal container is planter with a white"Caladium and a white leaved "Begonia" 
All in a very shady area along the dog run fence.
I poked in a few lavender impatiens



A lime green "Pathos" 




So this is my interpretation of a pink and green (and some other colors) plantings
