Flaming border

In Monet’s garden at Giverny, yellow and red flowers unite their flame-like radiant colors.

This effect is obtained by mixing yellow flowers, especially liliums and spotted-loosestrifes with delicate red  crocosmias.

Croscosmias leaves have also translucent qualities enhanced by the morning sunshine.
