The Flower or the Color?

With Fall colors catching everyone’s eye, it made me ponder…

Is it the flower we see and appreciate or is it the color?

Let’s dig deep for our real personal perspective here.  Is it the lovely jewel-toned color that we adore or is the stem, leaves and divine bloom that attracts us?

Think for a minute about the delicate flora that fills our lives, the changing seasons of whimsical ornamentals and the flourishing bounty that we appreciate.  Are we appreciating the plant or tree for its production?  Are we admiring the lines, the shapes or the texture of it?  Do we consider is uses and value the benefits it provides us?

Let’s look at a few flowers from a different perspective.

Is it the flower that we appreciate or is it the vibrant colors that we admire and draw us in?
