Peach roses and parrot tulips are ravishing by themselves, but see what happens when you keep adding more colors in the same range—green-streaked amaryllis buds, coral and gold arbutus balls, spiky yellow nerines like rays of light—and set it all against a cool, dark background. It just glows, doesn't it?
Whether it's orchids, daisies, naughty scarlet cyclamen, or merely a plot of green succulents, the best pick-me-up is an indoor garden. Happy flowering!
