Why did I worry so much?
I found this hanging basket in one of my favorite places in the world, Jerome, Arizona. Here magenta petunias hang out in perfect harmony with bright red geraniums.
When I was a teenager, I agonized over whether parts of my outfit color-matched. Red did not “go” with pink and definitely not with magenta! Since I’ve grown older, I’ve mellowed.
I’m reminded of a master gardener who once informed me, “ALL flowers play together, whatever the color of their blooms.” I agree!
There are moments when everything
turns out right.
Don’t let it alarm you: they pass.

So true!
Yes, I’ve mellowed, too, over clothing color choices. There are so many more important things to worry about like if you’re blooming, if you’re getting enough sunlight, or if you’re an invasive weed.
