no green is greener than the green of spring. no green is more unreal then the spring green. every color seems to enhance this vibrant green; it's lush sparkling beauty sinks into the soul, every day, every day a bit more. there are never more shades of green visible than in spring. no matter where my eyes look, there are more variations to be discovered.  it surprises me. again and again. i find myself buying red flowering plants. i know that red and green are opposite colors on the color wheel. but my lust to buy red doesn't seem to be rooted within this awareness. it's - if i can explain it at all - more the need to contrast the richness of the green to make it stand out eve more. to let it scream, 'this is spring.. now'! In less then a month the various greens have agreed upon a few shades, which will represent them as  'green' for the duration of the summer. but for now the spring greens are still the perfect backdrop for the daily display of flowers. the yellowish looking greens seem to vibrate in place, loaded with desire and eagerness to grow. if spring is anything at all,  then it is green.
