So, I picked out my color theme for the front of the house this year. [View all]

It's shady, I'm mostly limited to impatiens which thrive.

This year, I picked out a blend of purple to lavender to lilac shades. Then, I picked up some hot rose pink colored wax begonias to transition into the more sunny part, where I want to do some orange marigolds, blue salvia, and some hot pink again.

So, I already HATE IT! The impatiens part, that is.

It seems that, no matter what I pick out, I hate it. I'm probably happiest with a solid patch of hot reddish/pinkish (I think the color was called Punch or something like that). I've tried various things, all white (boring and gets lost), mixed colors (too busy), the hot pink mixed with purple (blech, looked like someone threw up colors!), salmons and peaches, oranges.

I guess I'm just never happy!
