Shades of Purple and White

I am loving this new flower we picked up last weekend.

It is called Pentas Starla Series.  It has the most delicate little star-shaped blooms.  It is an annual and will bloom spring until frost.

I knew I would use it to fill this planter near our front door.   I love it with the old folding ruler, and little flags.  I have left the ruler out year round for the last few years.  It was already vintage and worn, and the Winters really haven't harmed it much more.

When I shop for annuals I really like the whites and purples.  The white flowers look so pretty at twilight.  Someday I would like to plant a twilight garden.

  

On the back deck we paired the Pentas with pansy's.

I try to break out of the purple and white flower buying mode, but it's just me! 

Do you have favorite flower colors that you just can't resist?
