Re: More Crayola Red Perennials

Shortly after this list's discussion of using Crayola colors to describe 
plants, I wandered into the children's garden at Missouri Botanical Garden.  
There is was -- Dean's dream garden!  A walkway separated three circular 
monochromatic gardens, one in each of the primary colors -- true red, true 
yellow and true blue.  Sticking up from the center of each section, I kid you 
not, was a 4-foot-tall model of a crayon in the primary shade that exactly 
matched the flowers.  I blinked.  Could this be a coincidence, or was someone 
at the Botanical Garden lurking on this list?

Unfortunately, all of the flowers were annuals so I can't send you a list of 
true red, yellow and blue perennials.  And it wasn't exactly Dean's dream 
garden since the yellow section dominated, as yellow is wont to do.  Still, I 
laughed out loud at the sight of it.  What serendipity!  --Janis
