    Hi all,

    I have 2 new hanging baskets that my inlaws bought me for my birthday. They are the plastic ones with the gates that you take out and put plugs in and then replace to hod plant in place. I want to put them either side of the front door I want to put one with pale pink trailing fuchsias and begonias in the top and the other with Nasturnum 'day glow' and red petunias both of which are trailing and red salvias in the top. Obviously one will be pastel and one will be bright and fiery. Will they look odd in your opinion? Is there some kind of unwritten rule about pairing hanging baskets? Should they both be the same?

    All done and hung up as I said in first post. I will see what they look like in flower and I may change them if they look odd. I will post pictures when in bloom.
