Are You on Trend if You Plant This Colour?

“A SEASON OF COLORFUL EQUILIBRIUM Designers take a modern twist on the traditional for spring 2014 by pairing soft pastels with vivid brights to create a colorful equilibrium. Inspired by a mixture of blooming flowers, travels abroad, and strong, confident women, designers use color to refresh, revive and defy conventional wisdom.”  Pantone.com

According to Pantone Colour Institute, these are the colours we will be seeing this spring in fashion, home decor and in the gardens.  Does this help you plan your garden or do you plant what you like best and ignore the trends? Personally, I plant what pleases my eye.

Warming up Salisbury Style


A lovely display cabinet welcomes the visitor as they enter Salisbury Greenhouse.



I love this colour combination!  The peacock influence continues this year, which I am happy for.


 A display for us Oilers fans!  I just had to take a photo.  This one's for you Jeff and Tyler!!


Want some dress forms to decorate with or for more practical purposes?  Salisbury has a few of different styles.  I thought of my daughter when I saw these.  She's wanted one for years since she loves fashion so much.  Too bad her bedroom is too small.  


A terrarium garden, old fashioned in design, houses some cyclamen.  


This Easter display was not one of my favourites.  Really not liking the tulle tree and wreath.  Do you?




Salisbury still has amaryllis from Christmas!  I love these for their spectacular splash of vibrant colour!

Orchids.  Simply beautiful.




Salisbury has a nice selection of air plants, right.  Left, a lovely fine textured fern hangs.


I love this tray!  I settled for a photograph when I checked the price, though.



When I opened one of the little turquoise doors in the above chest, it added a new dimension which I failed to photograph.  I like the colour combinations on this chest.



Antique looking frames and modern compliment reproduction antique furniture.  There are some very nice pieces here.  I thought of my sister-in-law when I saw the above frames.  She would love this!



This was my favourite frame.


Slendor Easter Island statues sit amidst a nice assortment of statuary and fountains.  Did you know Salisbury is known for reportedly having the best selection of statuary and water features in the area?


I couldn't resist!!!  The door was partially open, I swear.  So I nudged it open enough to snap this shot of a growing greenhouse.  Hydrangeas are going to be big this year!!  I love it!


What's better than a friendship bench?
