In a recent photo club meeting there was a discussion about colour, and colour theory, and we were then challenged to look for subjects that demonstrate some of this theory. So for this week’s Vase (a meme hosted by Cathy at Rambling in the Garden), I’ve once again cut a bunch of Narcissus Quail – they’re fragrant, long lasting (both in the garden and as a cut flower) and I have a lot of them! I paired them with Tulip ‘Pittsburgh’ in the hope that the purple tulip will pair with the yellow daffodil in a way that demonstrates how contrasting colours (as seen in the colour wheel) work well together. (Note, I have not adjusted the colour/saturation in any of these photos – I was hoping to capture it as seen, either indoors or out.)





Yes, that color wheel come through. Great combination.

I absolutely love the way you’ve displayed the vase with the sea of gold in the background. Dandelions were amazing here too. Happy June days to you and your four-legged friend.

My goodness, those Quail are a vibrant yellow! As Annette says, they look wonderful with the tulips against the background of dandelion-spangled grass! Thanks for sharing

Such a beautiful tulip, Chris – it’s gorgeous. The bees must love all those dandelions, they are hungry after the long winter!
