I carried this crayon around with me for several days wondering when I would discover something that was apricot. It's an odd shade and there's nothing in my closet or jewelry box that comes close. The first thing I thought of was my great-aunt's china which I inherited. And, yes, one of the flowers is pretty close.
When I opened a package of dried apricots, they really looked too orange, but when I put the crayon next to them, it's not bad.
Then I was at the mall, and noticed the banner Anthropologie had hanging outside their store. VERY close, I'd say.
But finally, on Friday night, we went to the George Eastman House for an opening of the new Civil War photography show. While we were there we wandered into the mansion where the annual Dutch Bulb Collection is in bloom. I have no idea what kind of flower this is, but the veins are definitely apricot, and it is a lovely, lovely flower.
So in the end, I found quite a bit, and had some fun in the looking. I'm really enjoying this project, and both Tracy and Matt are on the lookout with me for the color of the week.
