Have you ever wondered how flowers get their colors?
The story I heard, from a lovely faery Painting Roses in my garden, begins as Spring peeks through the snow and rain. Each morning, she tells me, just before dawn as the dew dries from the petals, young faeries come out to paint the flowers in every hue of the rainbow. I hear painting petals can become quite difficult when it rains--that is why sometimes the colors of the flowers seem a bit washed out.
So, now you know! Hahaaa--I know, I have a GREAT imagination!
