This week I have decided to have one my “theme” weeks. A week is just about the extent of my attention after which I tend to get bored and drift off into some other random ramblings. I hope I am not being over ambitious. At first I considered a “rainbow” week, seven colours, seven days, they were made for each other. Then I realised that this may be a little problematical as I have never been quite sure of the difference between indigo and violet, and blue can even be a little dodgy. So the week’s subject is going to be purely “colour” or more accurately, because I find it impossible to use one word when two will suffice, “colour scene”. Today is the turn of Orange, a hue that evokes much opinion. Personally I love it. Although this perennial wallflower is called Erysimum “Apricot Twist” to my mind it is as orange as, well an orange.

I’ve seen plenty of oranges in the supermarket that weren’t nearly as delicious-looking as your wallflower!

A beautiful shade of orange, I can imagine that planted with some Geranium ‘Orion’ in all its blueness and some golden leaved oregano.
