Green is a color too

Here is a green thought for a white winter day.  As gardeners, perhaps obsessed in February with the desire and need for color, we need to remember that green is a color too.  We still can get a lot of green in winter from an appropriate mix of conifers in our plantings.  In the season, a good garden offers many shades of green as green is a rich color palette in itself.  Green also provides the base against which all color happens.  Without our gracious green we would not see so clearly the striking orange daylily.  Everybody says they want lots and lots of flowers, but when it comes to the work involved, green has a lot to offer.  Think foliage and think green, from almost yellow to almost blue.
