I agree we need to embrace colour! I come from central Canada surrounded by wild places and colour abounds mixed between ferns and grasses, huge swathes of aster and clover and fireweed, entire fields of pink roses, in summer the prairie is a haze of purples and yellow, bright red and orange berries stay through the gray of early winter, in early spring huge drifts of willow and dogwood are fiery red and orange against the bleached grasses and blue sky.
