Great tools for understanding color combinations

Fun Art--Beautiful Color Combinations

If you like funky art (and I do) and bright colors, this is the book for you. The author not only deals with flowers but treats the entire yard as an all encompasing environment. One thing that can make plant selection difficult is providing each plant's individual requirements. There is very little discussion of that. All in all, it's an enjoyable read.

Wow! What a great book. Chuck full of delightfully written text accompanied by stunning photos of innventive and 'fearless' garden ideas. Keeyla's gardens reflect her infectious personality and original garden style. Gimme a cup of tea and this book and I'm set for the afternoon!
