This turned out to be the prettiest combination I've ever done in a container. I just love the smoky blue green color of the ornamental cabbage. It seems the colder it gets, the more colorful it is. The other flowers are a trailing petunia and a blue sage which both withstood the recent freezing temps. By the way, I wish I could take credit for having a sharp eye for color but this was by pure luck that it turned out so nice.

That is a great combination for a container. It's a nice color combo and there is good contrast in the types of plants.
Thanks for joining us for bloom day and I hope you are able to join us each month for the next year.

Carol...Thanks for the warm welcome. I'll definitely be posting each month.
A very pretty combination. I also like the contrast in leaf shapes.
Susan: I don't know how I missed stopping by your GBBD. So glad to have you join the fun.
Your container is arranged so nicely. I love the textures, layers and shades of color! Combining arrangements in containers is one of my all time favorite projects and visual affects. So much can be done in a little space.
Lisa...thanks for stopping by for a visit.
Meems...I just posted for the first time to GBBD, and I look forward to it each month. It's a great idea!
Your planting of the ornamental cabbage with the petunias and salvia are really striking. I'm glad they survived the frost.
I had a good look at your favourite orchids. Wow they are beautiful!
