"The sound of colors is so definite that it would be hard to find anyone who would express bright yellow with base notes, or dark lake with the treble." Wassily Kandidinsky |
| Erythronium 'Jeannine' This is purported to be a hybrid of the Californian's E. tuolumnense and E. californicum 'White Beauty' or maybe a backcross involving those parents.
I was watching the bees this past weekend with a bit of that warmth we had they were flying in huge numbers, and bringing in loads of pollen. I was also kinda wondering why are so many of the early flowers yellow. Most of the research suggests it has to do with pollinators waking up from the long winter rest and having an easy target to hit. Yellow is that bright, attention getter type of color that you can't really ignore. Like curious George and the man in the Yellow hat, it wouldn't really make sense if it was Curious George and the man in the brown fidora.
I was gonna throw a bunch of yellow flowers on this post, but I think maybe i'll space em out a bit.
It was a chilly 38 when I drove out this morning, but the day's have been warming up a bit. I think it's going to rain this afternoon and maybe hit 60.
Cheers,
Mark
