Zinnia - please tell me more about color

This week these colors are actually out of date here in NEO.  I took the images about 3 weeks ago, and was distracted until now so I didn't get them up on Realneo (Rn) in a timely fashion.   Anyway, here they are as a colorful counterpoint to the dreary stuff - mine included - which has been in the header lately.  These absolutely spectacular flowers grew out of the gound under the Geauga sun.  Rn people - users I know - raised, watered, cut and brought these flowers to my camera.  Very cool.

But how does Mother Nature do this color?

After seeing these colors up on my Sony flat screen, I had to come back and edit/add to this report.  Because what I realize is that every one of the millions and millions of monitors out there (in the world) have the phosphores - have the capacity - to project brilliant colors.  But 99% of the time no one calls on the colors to show, to glow. 

Drab life.

The color capacity is there, built in, right under the surface, but there is no digital message sent to excite the colors.

So life is drab.  For a lot of us.

If I were a legislator, I would get the Republicans, and the Democrats, to pass color-every-day legislation.   

I am not kidding.  

Healthcare is important and long overdue.

But with the embibement of daily color, the national health care bill would go from 1 trillion over 10 years (Obama's projection), way down - way down.
