Plant combinations

Most of my flower beds and containers are jumbles of color and texture, mixtures of plants that catch my eye. Sometimes the combinations work, sometimes they don’t. What do you like to plant together? What flowers or colors make good combinations? These are some of mine that are pleasing to me right now. Click on any photo to enlarge.
