Every Saturday morning I look out my 15th floor window to the tiny farmer’s market that sets up just a block away from my apartment. I can’t wait to walk by each stand to see the fresh produce picked just days earlier. But my favorite is the fresh cut flower selection. Many times I don’t even buy anything, but I still enjoy exciting my senses – the variety, texture, and infinite color combinations nature allows is inspiring.
Something I’ve learned from flowers is that there are no wrong color combinations. In fact experimenting can lead to the most unexpected and wonderful color combinations. This past weekend I picked up some cockscomb in curry, red, dusty pink and deep purple. Accented with bright green leaves, it’s truly perfect. I can’t stop staring at them on my dining room table.
For me the lesson learned is don’t be afraid of color, of mixing colors, and taking tips from nature!

So pretty!
Excellent point about no wrong color combos. If it’s good for nature, it should be good for us! I have never once looked at a garden or field of wildflowers and said “Those colors are all wrong!”
Enjoy!
that’s beautiful! i love the color combos.
