These flowers don’t really go together – am I right?  I didn’t plant them on purpose color-wise.  They are mostly mixes – you get whatever is in the seed packet.  That includes the dahlias from seed – red single pointed stars, pink imperfect curls, rows of glowing butter cream petals.  I don’t necessarily like orange, for instance – and yet there is a lot of it here, and back in the garden.

And you?  Have you carefully chosen all the pieces of your life for the most flattering colors and complementary forms?  Or did you make up your mind that you would grow whatever the seed packet offered – and celebrate the beauty where you find it?
