Re: changing taste and age

Honest! Injun! It's like quiting smoking (22 years cold turkey....2 packs a day Camel straights since 15) Your eyes slowly turn yellow and ruin the colors....Cigs slowly ruin your taste buds.....when I quit....I couldn't believe how good everything tasted....it was so cool......well when I got my eyes done I was taken back.....everything looked so cool.....like Science Fiction.......

>choices. In my  addled old age I am appreciating

stronger color more.
 Is the desire for stronger colors in the garden come with  age...or
just me wandering around in my  garden?



Gene,
as I get older, I find I  want more structure - more things to look at in
winter, even if it is  only the outline of the shrubs and grasses. I also
seem to crave  contrast - variegation, different color leaves (which I
think leads  to my growing collection of hosta and huechera) and flower
 shape.

Strangely, at the same time, subtle flowers are more  attractive than the
ones that shout. I like being invited in to  notice extra petals, gradual
color shifts and twisting  petals.
