Color frenzy fairytale...

Once… long… long… time ago… when I was young… and you were not born yet… there was a girl who loved gardens. She just started her first own garden… she was so focused on the plants and flowers that any additional element in the garden had to be in brown, so will not disturb admiring another beautiful plant in her newly starting collection.

Every little plant that appeared in the garden was looked after carefully. One day she decided that brown furniture is not elegant enough and she asked fellow bloggers about color in the garden. She was advised that BLUE might be right, because it would look great in the winter, while partly under the snow. She was thinking and thinking, considering the change.

After few weeks or even months she decided that WHITE is the only color she would love in the garden. So she painted the bench white. That’s all for her color courage in the garden so far.

Then one day she spotted color frenzy you can see on the photos! She knew the people who placed it together were right. Yet what could she do? Royal dignity must be maintained and thinking must be processed... What do you think?
