More color




I remember reading about the gardening predilections of the famed Vita Sackville-West. Her husband complained that she liked green, weird flowers. I have seen a few green flowers in my lifetime - my Helleborus Foetidus has sprays of small green cuplike blooms - and I have never particularly liked them. But I have a bouquet of flowers in my living room that features pale green chrysanthemums and purple liatris, a truly unlikely pairing, and I love looking at it! I know I could stand to be more adventurous about color. I like wearing a pink blouse with a pink skirt. Someone more daring would wear a turquoise blouse with a pink skirt. Maybe flowers are the place to start!
