Many years ago I had an elderly customer turned friend. Her name was Francis Burchett and she was a character. I was delighted to arrive at her house one day to find her front flower bed planted with a row of deep red geraniums, a center row of blaze orange marigolds and the front of the bed was resplendent in deep purple petunias. The color combo was so unusual and bright that it tickled my fancy.
I often do a planter or two (in this case funky old tin buckets I picked up at a yard sale) in a similar combination of plants and colors. The jewel tones remind me of Mrs. B and her larger than life personality. Soon the plants will grow and bloom in riotous shades that will rock both my retinas and my memory.
