This month we will be looking for orange. One of the most vibrant colours, orange is zingy and fresh. It’s a warm colour, friendly and inviting. Soft at dawn, but louder at sunset. From the palest of peaches and apricots through to copper, rust, salmon-pink and terracotta, the range of orange shades in the natural world is phenomenal.
I am a huge fan of terracotta (Italian: “baked earth”) pots, although they don’t always survive a harsh winter or a slight tumble. The colour of terracotta can vary from a hue that ranges through reds, oranges, yellows, and even pinks due to how the iron content in terracotta’s clay body reacts with oxygen.
I’d love to have one of these large Italian urns for my garden.
And if you look up at some of the older properties you might spy a terracotta chimney pot or two.

My latest post is full of orange for Terri’s Sunday Stills, but I thought you might like it too (even if it’s not terracotta!) https://www.toonsarah-travels.blog/gallery-the-monks-of-luang-prabang-a-life-in-orange/
Orange is good, terracotta is just a suggestion 😊
😎
Found a few but not as many as I thought I had 🙂
Love the pots
Thank you.
My contribution
Terracotta pots are also one of my favourite pots, and I have quite a number of them scattered throughout the garden. I’m a little behind with this month’s challenge, so I will start off my contribution with this post: https://hairbellsandmaples.com/2021/10/13/life-in-colour-2021-photo-challenge-orange-after-the-fire/
Not fired terracotta, but a ‘fired’ of a different kind!
Terracotta pots just blend in so well in a garden setting. Especially so when aged.
Especially when they have moss growing on them!
