Blue and Orange Deux

Jewel tones of Geranium [Rozanne] = 'Gerwat' and Eschscholzia californica 'Jelly Beans' with Nassella tenuissima

Geranium [Rozanne] = 'Gerwat' may be ubiquitous, dethroning 'Johnson's Blue', but it doesn't preclude it from being a good garden plant whose sprawling growth and free flowering can led to endless pairings. 'Jelly Beans' California poppies explode at the same level as 'Rozanne' as both plants are lax in habit. The two colors, blue and orange, work well since they are complementary. Unfortunately the poppies are annual, and need to be resown since any self-sown seedlings may revert back to the straight species.
