Salvia splendens, and Summer Phlox (Phlox paniculata)
Salvia splendens
I can't say enough about my inclination towards the color red. It excites me, especially in the garden! I like it in combination with complimentary colors almost as much as with jarring mixtures. The more discordant the better! I know there are countless books on acceptable color combinations in the garden, but I ignore them! Most would probably say not to mix the lavender pink of the Phlox above with the fire engine red of the salvia, but I say 'bring it on!' The color red is perfect for my 'style' of gardening. When it offends, it really offends!

Next year, perennial phlox 'Common Purple' will be combined with orange Crocosmia spp. in my garden. I enjoy fiesta/tropicalissmo combos and found lots to enjoy in your blog. Thanks.
