in my crayon box
cool shades down to nubs, warm shades
almost good as new
We were walking to the library this morning and I saw these blooms. These flowers always make me think of the big boxes of 64 crayons I used to have when I was a kid. It reminds me of the thistle crayons, which was one of my favourites. Some of the colours--the aptly named thistle, as well as all the purples, dark blues, and greens--were down to nubs because I used them so much. The hot colours--reds, oranges, yellows--were still sharp because I rarely used them. Some things never change! 😉

Me too…all those colors…
Very pretty flower! I used to love coloring even as an adult. I haven't down any in a while. Now I want to go buy a box of crayons and a few coloring books, and plant some flowers :)
Nothing quite like a box of crayons, is there :-)
I so agree about the colors in the crayon box. I think some of us become aware from a young age that colour has an effect on us whether we want it to or not. I pretty much just don't tolerate anything that I know know is 'hot' or 'angry' or not cool and soothing and healing. As an aside to that I find that so much more just automatically goes well when it's placed together lol.
Hot colours make me feel agitated :-(
