Colours you have in your garden say a lot about you... .
 

 Dark blue commands respect and is the Police.  Green is relaxing and is used on the walls of hospitals get the ideal. The colours of leaves, flowers and berries  not only change our mood but show personalities.

  So next time you're in someone else's garden, take a look around If the garden has consciously been planted with lots of red flowers this can imply assertiveness and  play down femininity by either sex. Red  shows physical strength,  Liverpool and Manchester United play best in red,in a garden it could be used in a more active area, perhaps forming a barrier around the lawn or swimming pool. Use  the  tints, tones and shades they are stimulating and exciting and in extremes reds will actually raise the blood pressure. Crocosmia 'Lucifer', Papaver orientale 'Beauty of Livermere' and Potentilla 'Red ace' are all strong masculine reds. Yellow is for emotion, ego, optimism, self-esteem and spring, with daffodils, primroses, Fritillaria imperialis and skunk cabbage. It is bright and cheerful, the colour of sunshine and lifts the spirits.  To much yellow may say  that self esteem is not at its highest  Blue is the colour of intellect and  boys. , soothing and calming and encourages reflection , lowers blood pressure. Its  the sky and the sea and in the garden can have the same effects.
 
Great swathes of forget-me-not, Anchusa and cornflowers to relax. Its peoples favourite colour maybe because we recognise the need for calm and logic in our  lives. Green is the  choice for a relaxing garden. Created by chlorophyll which is vital to life, in nature it shows water in abundance Think twice about ripping up your lawn and laying decking because when we are surrounded by plenty of green we are reassured. Hostas, ferns and rhododendrons all provide an excellent relaxing backdrop to other colours. Violet is the colour of someone who prefers to be left to peaceful thought,  someone who gardens just for themselves and isn't worried about shouting out their achievements to others, Lovely people. Wisteria, Syringa vulgaris and various delphiniums are all suitable. Pink is an expression of femininity for those men in touch with their feminine sides. A hint of reddish pink like Cistus x purpureus and Filipendula palmata is soothing and brings out the feminine parenting instinct .Its flesh colour also make it sexy . Orange is sexy too its the colour off physical enjoyment and fiery passion. It can create a feeling of physical comfort and can look very sensual. Try Euphorbia griffithii 'Fireglow', Lilium 'Enchantment' .


flower bulbs are an easy way to provide colour in spring.in containers, in the border, in a lawn or for cut flowers, there's a bulb variety for every need -
 be inspired!
