I don’t know if it is the autumn sun accentuating the vibrancy of the garden, or perhaps my new medication, but at the moment I am slightly obsessed with colour combinations. Looking from each and every angle, however unlikely and impossible for anyone who is not allowed to stomp around the borders, and exclaiming “have you seen the alonsoa against the Salvia atropurpurea!” or”just look at the coronilla next to the delusional azalea!”.
What I did not shout when I saw the perfect marriage above was “How fine the Symphyotrichum novae-angliae ‘Andenken an Alma Pötschke’ appears in conjunction with Salvia guaranitica ‘Black and Blue’ . I well may have fallen off the front garden at Max’s, where I was tettering to take the photo, into the road below. Still, it is a rather fine match.

Now you’re really showing off with your plant name knowledge, aren’t you? But I agree. The blue against the background of green foliage is a wonderful combination (which, for some reason, should [supposedly] never be seen). 😉

Wonderful photo, but I do wish you’d included one of the delusional azalea. 😄

Lovely vibrant combination. I wonder who this Alma was and why with such a ridiculous name someone called an aster after her. And such a lovely one.
