Garden Design: Beautiful Gardens are in Trinities

Watching a TV cooking show, many years ago, one of my most important Garden Design epiphanies.

.

Creating magic, the chef said, "I'm using the trinity of Cajun cooking."

.

EXACTLY.

.

Tara's Trinity of the Southern Garden: Azaleas, Camellias, Hydrangeas.  Tara's Trinity of _______, became a lecture title.  And great handout.

.

Beware, this trinity, below, is not for amateurs.  Yet, one of the easiest Garden Design Trinities accomplished.

Keeping my feet planted, below, I've turned the camera to the left 2 inches.  The pot, above, at left, is the same pot, below.

Still keeping my feet planted, I've turned my camera to the right 2 inches, below.  Potted plant, below, is the same plant, top pic, at the right.

What is this Garden Design Trinity?  Trinity Axis: Backdrop, Living Room, Dining Room.
.
Literally, interior architecture & interior design turned into Garden Design.
.
Creating entries, hallways, parlors, etc 'outside' is one of my favorite things to do during the walk/talk phase of Garden Design.  Watching  owner's faces, 'see'.  Especially if they've lived in their home a long time.
.
Best Garden Design Trinity to know?  You must choose a color theme, green-brown-white, is the enduring winner.
