Can you see the mushing of colors in the background?  The blends you can never  create with out a mess. Notice the vase and the background fade from the lighter pink mashing of colors to the neutrals one the left side and the shadows of turquoise and deep pink. The flowers are brilliant as they pop out at you and the greens are lush and hold their own alone. Did you gravitate at all to the dark black planted spaces?   Makes me want to go paint right now!!! Do you want one?

“Don't compare her to sunshine and roses when she's clearly orchids and moonlight.”
― Melody Lee, Moon Gypsy

I love the quote.  What flower are you?  I know I am not a rose... I would lean to Hydrangea or Iris... or wait... I know, I would be  Zinnias.  When I was a young girl about 2 years old I remember for the next six or seven years when we would drive up from Texas to Missouri, there was what seemed to me to be a large center circular garden filled with flowers each spring and summer.  I remember the zinnias the most.  They were in all colors and shapes. The tall ones were taller than I was until I passed age five and then every summer the flowers were smaller and I was taller.  

Late in the twilight at the farm in the summer, the lightning bugs were literally everywhere!  We would run and chase them and capture one in between our hands and the light seem to shine through our hands too!  We have not seen any here in Texas where we live. I am surprised because there is a wildlife refuge around 2/3rds of our subdivision and I would have thought we would see them.  It makes my young life at Grandma's farm really special.


Terry reminded me, we did have them at the cottage in the woods on the lake!  They lit up the pond while those bull frogs sang their songs.   There is a song in this entire story... maybe I will cut this short and play guitar for the next hour.  Have a great evening and a fabulous tomorrow!!

I like this and the story. I think I'm a carnation, maybe everyday dependable.
Hope you are staying cool.
