It's definitely funny how things change....myself included.....lol...
When these were given to me, I did not even think about what color they might be...and was lucky in that I was given more and these turned out to be a matched set, one of each side of the entry path....but BLUE !! OMG, that cobalt blue...! Too much and each year I would cut off a large number of them to lessen the impact....
Now I treasure them........
