    I know you're asking Dendro, BM, but I think pinky/purple would be nice as it would go with several of your grasses / trees.

    Personally I'd go for the most contrast - so white, and contrast with black. But I'm not a huge fan of gravel. It works though, in the right setting, as in the photos of that garden I was working on "Jungly and Symmetrical"....

    My feeling is that although pinky/purple might well go with some stuff, it would scream at some others.

    Glad you found the link of some use.

    BM has predominantly green in varying shades, plus trees/grasses in pinky/purply shades. Green and purple are natural, like blue and green. But then that's my opinion, from an artistic point of view! :rolleyes:

    Sorry to be talking about your scenario with you not being present, BM! [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Like it, Dendro, very nice .. please pass my compliments along to him! [​IMG]

    Is it a Lemur? We have a place near us who save/protect endangered species and Lemurs are amongst them. Think they had some babies there this year .. if so, K-D has the article as I send such to her after I've read it and she files it away.

    Very nice, Arty Farty, very nice indeed! :wink:

    I love the colours and I guess it's the rain as opposed to dew on the leaves is very effective!

    Well done, meu amigo! [​IMG]
