Naturally Green Leaved: CONIFERS, OF WHICH cypress, cedar, juniper, fir, larch and pine are familiar examples, differ from other trees in having narrow, sometimes needle-like leaves. Though naturally green leaved, some conifers produce varieties with leaves of a different color, ranging from silver, gray, blue, and green to bronze and gold.
Good ivy-leaved varieties are: "Abel Carriere" (soft purple); "Galilee" (pink); "Jeanne d'Arc" (white); "Mrs W. A. R. Clifton" (scarlet).
Ornamental-leaved varieties are: "Chelsea Gem" (green and silver); "Crystal Palace Gem" (green and gold); "Mrs Henry Cox" (green, yellow and red).See Also Shades Of Green:Kitchens can take a strong colour because there's not usually a whole Wall of it on show, just patches between units. Here, a lime green has been painted on the walls and the colour has been picked up in the tiles. To create contrast, a mix of green and cream tiles have been used. Birch units add a sunny glow while the blind, china and plants weave in splashes of blue, yellow and yet more green. Even though the overall effect is vibrant, the scheme actually only sticks to three chief shades of green - green, cream and wood - which prevents the room looking hectic and uncoordinated.
Hot, spicy shades of green like orange, rich green and deep red love to take over so they work best when used as accents, rather than all over the walls. Here, walls are painted a hessian shade and teamed with a Sofa in matching fabric, creating a background that's pale and neutral. Dark, warm tones are added here by a mahogany Floor and console Table and the really spicy shades of green are confined to the curtain, a border on the Blind and the cushions -just enough colour to enliven the scheme, but not so much that it dominates.
On The Other Hand See Iridescent Green -gold:Flowers aside, unusual textures and metallic references made a noticeable appearance in this year's designs.
A vibrant orange quilted cloth covered the Table that Stephen Elrod created for Lee Jofa.
Silver fur showed up on the table, chair covers, and napkin rings for the Chronicles of Narnia-inspired Table by Celerie Kemble, Lela Rose, and Bronson van Wyck.
An iridescent green -gold green-gold overlay blanketed the Table designed by Healing Barsanti; it was embellished with biomorphic shapes stitched out of golden thread (which befit the centerpiece that integrated green orchids and pearlescent shells strung on golden wire).
Artist Michele Oka Doner employed an array of her own work-heavily textured silver vessels that held large green leaves and green orchids.
Scads of the flowers will be on view to the public when the Orchid Show opens at the garden on February 25;
Your passport is green gold—and more. It is one of the world's most eagerly desired treasures of printing, Once you get it, and are using it in Europe, you certainly wouldn't want to sell it for anything like its weight in gold. I've weighed mine on letter • scales and find it would be worth, as gold, about $56, whereas it cost me only $10. There are plenty of cases where American passports have been sold—and this is, of course, a very serious criminal offense—for a thou¬sand dollars and up to desperate refugees from Hitlerian or Communist or starving countries of Europe. |
