50 Shades (of Green)

Harry Chapin’s song ‘Flowers are Red’ has a chorus that makes me stop and look at the world with the wonder seen through the eyes of the very young.
It goes:
There are so many colors in the rainbow
So many colors in the morning sun
So many colors in the flower and I see every one!

So is there a multitude of greens at harvest, from the bright lime green of the hops, to the deep forest green of the leaves and everything in between.

Lots of nice greens and hints of blue sky too. Do the hops have much of a smell Wendy?

[Wendy]

@stephanies Each variety has its' own distinctive smell and flavour. Some are sweet, some are bitter.
I really do not know much about growing hops, but I find them very fascinating.

Pretty! I remember my husband brewing some beer and getting hops also remember my town, when I was a child, was famous for its beer and the whole town smelled of boiling hops - not too pleasant- but they are pretty.
