Green & Blue Green Plus One

Green plus red.

Pure green, with no yellow or blue edge, was hard to find, although this Jalapeño green is pretty close. The green is accented with red, one of nature’s favourite colour combos.Green jalapenos in a vegetable market stall in Puerto Escondido, Mexico

It was hard to find a really dark green in nature but in this Croton the green is almost black, and its red markings pop!Croton leaves in dark green spot with cerise, in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

One surprise for me was how often greyed blue-green plants erupt in yellow blooms. I don’t think it should work but it does!

  1. I think I like the peppers and the grapes the best, but it’s a close call. So many lovely greens, and so many shades. Thanks for sharing thses with CFFC!

    1. You like the ‘greens’ best if they’re food-related. Maybe you were hungry when you saw my post (or were writing up your ‘breakfast’ post; I notice that I’m getting hungry too) Thanks for visiting.
