Due to the large quantity of snowstorms this area has seen in February, WHITE is the appropriate color to discuss, don't you agree?

The color of snow, clouds, some flowers, white often is a symbol of purity, cleanliness, innocence and softness.

Here's a new one on me:
According to Emily's gems, white daisies are a symbol of loyal love. So why is Valentine's Day all about red??! Hmmmm.

Painters: Did you know that adding titanium white paint to another color paint will increase the opacity of that color? And if what you're after is a tinted glaze, then zinc white is what you want to use.

Regarding rays of light, white is the combination of all other colors. I found a cool photograph that displays this phenomenon on the wikipedia website for the word "Prism (optics)"
Just Click here to see it

So if white is a combination of all colors, yet is sometimes also explained as the absence of all color, is it a color? I went searching for the answer. There is a very interesting explanation of how color rays bend, how our eyes see color, and that question of whether white is a color. I can't explain it any better that these guys did!  http://www.colormatters.com/vis_bk_white.html
So I have a white Azalea in front of my house and when it is in bloom, the show can be breathtaking. Although the bush has green leaves, the white blossoms push out in front and spread their petals up and out against each other so tightly that the green is almost hidden. Click here to see a short little video I found, which might interest you, expecially if you have one of these plants.

So, with spring flowers on our minds, let's look ahead to some upcoming events!
