Today I've been away plant dyeing all day. And no, we did not dye Blue, butt a pretty reddish brown.
Today I solved the Wordle with only Greens again. The answer was not Blue either. Chili is Red.
Because of the solution, my post won't go live until midnight.

Today it's the first of June. The colour of the month is Razzmatazz, which most of us, including Mimi's Little Annie and River's twins would simply call Pink. Even if the colour of Our Lady normally is Blue, this was the colour of the flowers I picked for her today.
A whole post with neither Blue nor any Poetry. I hope you'll forgive me.
My comments are still mostly not posting - even here. And if they do post, half of them dissapear without trace.

You are forgiven, blue would be a hard colour to write about for me too, as a poem.
SvarSletThank you.
SletI love what Mimi did, she wrote some really good shorties on Blue. But I did not have it in me.
I have never dyed plants. I do recall carnations that were in colored water, so they "drank" the dye and changed colors, which were sold by a local school to raise money. (Oddly, for the Color guard. The ones with flags and such who perform with the band at sporting events or some such.)
SvarSletDo you eat Chili with or without beans? That's usually the big debate among connoisseurs.

Every spring I do this kind of plant dyeing. Snowdrops are easy to dye with food colouring, and it's interesting and a lesson in botany, as you can clearly see the veins in the petals.
SletBut the plant dyeing I practise most is the art of dyeing wool with plants, sorry to be confusing.
Chili ... always without beans, I'm intolerant to all legumes and pulses.
If there’s no poem, that’s fine, plant dyeing is important. Congratulations on the Wordle solve.
SvarSletThank you. Later I hope to post plant dyeing reults.
