Re: variegated leaves

Fran,
Funny thing about color.  I like a relaxing garden, tend toward the cool
colors - pinks, purples, blues.  But just about every color is here in my
garden as I can appreciate their value.  I mentioned b4 a favorite yellow
lily, CT King and the real Tiger Lilies, Lilium lancifolium, are as orange
as you can get.  I don't sweat color harmonies, though I would like to work
on combinations in more detail someday.
