I'm joining Anna of
Flutter & Hum again this week in presenting a Wednesday Vignette, an image that's power is provided by the combination of its individual elements. The problem is that I couldn't decide between two images that caught my fancy so, rather than choose, I'm sharing both.
The first one features plants in a bed just outside my home office window. I love the mix of purple, silver and green elements.

The second image is excerpted from my backyard border. In early spring, I planted pink
Eustoma grandiflorum from 6-packs to echo the pink in my
Yucca 'Bright Star'. Initially, I wasn't happy with it as the flowers of the
Eustoma are very pale in color when they first open, which didn't create the effect I was seeking. But the flowers deepen in color as they age.

to find her Wednesday Vignette, as well as links to other bloggers' contributions.
