Old Lupins Old Gardeners Photos
The fiery red Dahlias complement the brick work of the house in this open garden. The colour is repeated at the end of the formal lake and the planting in the side borders also has some colour symmetry. (A shame about the scaffolding but what a place to grow a climber).
Talking of climbers, again the colour of the brick and the red roses lift the photograph. I like the very interesting grey gate tied up with garden string. If I try achieve this effect with old gates in my garden the results are woeful. (Must try harder)
Even the old light coloured stone at this Oxford college is set off a treat by the red foreground. The green plays a significant part however as it is strongly complementary to the red and the leaves have scale and texture.
