candlelight colors

After vacation, a walk through the garden requires courage: I tell myself "don't look at what needs to be done; just observe what's there." The first thing I observed, though, was a coleus that needed to be pinched back, so I had snippets of coleus foliage in my hand when I also found a couple of yellow-ish coneflowers, some brown iris pods, and a beautiful, yellowing hibiscus leaf. On the way back to the house, I also spotted a mottled mulberry leaf on the ground and that's the leaf under the vase.
