Bright yellow.
The colour of catkins.
And the colour of maleness.
Besides their male counterparts, the flowers of femaleness have to make-do with the second best – with an apparel of dull green.
It wouldn’t do at all for a mere female willow to out-do the attractiveness of the male.
Unless the bees have a love-at-first-sight attraction to the male, as far as the pollination of the female is concerned, all will be lost.
Bright yellow.
The colour of the rays of a Crayola sun.
Colours that burn and deter, or colours that draw one in to a first course?
Perhaps not!
Dull green – only good for afters?
Dull? No!
Good for afters?
Why even ask? This lady is clearly at the forefront of anyone’s wish list!
So why wait for the pudding (i.e. run, now, whilst you still can!)?
