Trends in annuals From Country Life Colours Colours come in fashions and in recent years two things have been happening. Separate colours have become more widely available alongside the mixtures, and pastel colours like the soft shades of pansy 'Ultima Silhouette' and the rose, salmon and cream of Phlox 'Coral Reef' have taken everyone's fancy.    From the Spring Gardens Number of Country Life, 1995 Now, I sense that the seed companies are becoming more cautious about separate colours and at the same time customers are starting to return to hotter, fierier shades. Following the award of a Fleuroselect medal to the bright orange pansy 'Padparadja', Unwins have special spring pansy mix called 'Psychodelia' in a blend of purple and orange with a purple and orange bicolour. Mr Fothergills have a patriotic blend of red, white and blue petunias, 'Celebrity Bunting'.
