Pink & Orange

An unlikely color combination is validated in nature by the coneflowers.
In the circle the magenta garden phlox 
& the orange flowers of blackberry lily continue the theme 


Blackberry Lily (Belamcanda chinensis)
the seed structures  resemble blackberries
My original seeds came from Monticello
Thomas Jefferson grew these exotic plants

Phlox paniculata
native to the eastern USA has many cultivars
Here with the foliage of Bronze Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare)
& Echinacea purpurea
