Flower Pictures

Add Color to Your Landscape

By David Beaulieu, About.com

The plants featured in the flower pictures below run the gamut in terms of plant type. As you browse my flower pictures, you'll also find differences in texture, the part of the plant providing the color, and the season during which the plant achieves the height of its color display.

Thus you'll find examples among these photos of annuals and perennials, trees, shrubs and vines. Besides blossoms, colorful foliage, seeds and berries are represented. Floral and foliar textures range from coarse to fine. There are examples of standouts for spring, summer and fall in this photo gallery. I've also included flower pictures of wildflowers and of container-grown plants.

Use these flower pictures to plan your landscape design according to color schemes. An effective landscape color scheme can compensate for many a landscape design flaw, so use color wisely. You'll achieve the greatest impact when you mass single colors together (think of the effect on the senses of a field of red poppies!).
