Purple and Chartreuse
comments (1) April 14th, 2011 in gallery
These pictures were taken at the Phipps Conservatory Spring Show this year. Tulipa 'Blue Spectacle' sits amoung the maidenhair ferns and heuchera in the East Room. This dynamic combination of purple and chartreuse is always eye catching, no matter the season.

About this contest
In the garden, the signs of spring are subtle but significant. Snow recedes and brown turns to green as the weather warms and the daylight lengthens. Grab your camera and post a "spring awakenings" photo in this gallery by April 15 for a chance to win a prize.
Fine Gardening's staff members will choose a winner based on design appeal, creativity, and photo quality. The winner will receive a $100 gift certificate from White Flower Farm. See the Official Contest Rules for details.
